Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The kind of renovation work will be based upon the kind of the existing floor. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will usually involve repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be a desirable feature of the house. In modern homes with carpet or real wood floors, renovation is more likely to consist of completely 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 renovation typically 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 substituted, followed 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.
