Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could entail a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The kind of restoration work will be based upon the form of the pre-existing floor. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will typically consist of repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be a desirable feature of the home. In contemporary houses with carpet or hardwood floors, restoration is more likely to involve totally exchanging the existing flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the procedure of renovation commonly involves sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles replaced, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will typically require replacing the carpet.

Specialist tools are often required for repairing or replacing flooring.
