Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The type of renovation work will depend upon the variety of the pre-existing flooring. In older homes with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will probably entail repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an important element of the house. In newer properties with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of totally replacing the current flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the method of restoration often involves sanding the top layer of 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 issues or damage will frequently require replacing the carpet.
