Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can entail an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of restoration work will be based upon the type of the pre-existing floor. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will often include repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an important attribute of the house. In newer homes with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of totally replacing the current floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the method of restoration usually entails sanding the top layer of hardwood 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.
