Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could entail a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The kind of renovation work will vary among the kind of the pre-existing floor. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will generally entail repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an important attribute of the property. In contemporary homes with carpet or wood flooring, renovation is more likely to involve entirely changing the current floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of restoration generally entails sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will frequently require replacing the carpet.
