Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The type of restoration work will depend on the type of the existing floor. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation is likely to consist of repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an appealing feature of the property. In modern homes with carpet or real wood flooring, renovation is more likely to consist of totally changing the existing floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of restoration typically involves sanding the top layer of 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 commonly require replacing the carpet.

Specialist tools are often necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
