Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of restoration work will depend on the kind of the pre-existing floor. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration is likely to include repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be a desirable feature of the property. In newer homes with carpet or hardwood flooring, renovation 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 flooring, the approach of renovation often entails sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles substituted, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet.
