Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring.

In newer houses with carpet or hardwood floors, renovation is more likely to require 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 renovation usually entails sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining.

For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet.
