Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may involve an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The kind of restoration work will depend upon the sort of the pre-existing floor. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will typically entail repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be a desirable feature of the house. In contemporary properties with carpet or wood floors, renovation is more likely to require totally exchanging the current flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of restoration 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 exchanged, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will generally require replacing the carpet.
