Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can entail 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 on the variety of the existing floor. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will typically entail repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an appealing feature of the home. In contemporary homes with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve totally replacing the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of restoration generally entails sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles substituted, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet.

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