Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The type of renovation work will depend upon the kind of the current floor. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will probably consist of repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an appealing feature of the home. In contemporary homes with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of totally exchanging the existing floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the procedure of restoration commonly consists of sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles exchanged, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will generally require replacing the carpet.

Specialist tools may also be necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
