Flooring Renovation

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

In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will typically require repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be a desirable feature of the property. In modern houses with carpet or hardwood floors, restoration is more likely to involve completely changing the existing floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the procedure of renovation often entails sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles exchanged, accompanied 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.
