Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The sort of restoration work will depend upon the form of the current floor. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will generally involve repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an attractive attribute of the home. In newer homes with carpet or hardwood floors, renovation is more likely to require completely exchanging the current flooring, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of renovation often entails 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 out, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will usually require replacing the carpet.

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