Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can require an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The type of restoration work will be based upon the type of the present flooring. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will often include repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an important element of the home. In newer houses with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to require entirely replacing the existing floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of renovation typically 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 replaced, followed 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.
