Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of renovation work will depend upon the type of the existing flooring. In older homes with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually require repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an appealing element of the property. In modern properties with carpet or hardwood flooring, renovation is more likely to involve totally replacing the current floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of restoration typically consists of sanding the top layer of hardwood 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.
