Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of renovation work will depend upon the variety of the existing floor. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will generally consist of repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an appealing element of the home. In modern houses with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to require completely exchanging the existing floors, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of renovation commonly involves 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 swapped, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will frequently require replacing the carpet.

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