Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The type of restoration work will depend upon the kind of the present floor. In older homes with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation is likely to entail repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an attractive element of the house. In modern properties with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve entirely replacing the existing floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of restoration commonly 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 swapped out, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet.
