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 sort of renovation work will vary among the form of the current floor. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will typically consist of repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an attractive element of the home. In contemporary homes with carpet or hardwood flooring, renovation is more likely to consist of entirely replacing the current floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of restoration commonly involves sanding the top layer of wood 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 issues or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet.
