Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The type of renovation work will depend on the variety of the existing flooring. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will typically require repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an attractive element of the house. In modern properties with carpet or hardwood flooring, renovation is more likely to require totally exchanging the existing flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the procedure of renovation often consists of sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles replaced, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet.

Specialist tools could also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
