Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring.

In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will generally entail repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an appealing element of the property. In modern properties with carpet or real wood flooring, renovation is more likely to involve completely changing the current floors, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the procedure of restoration usually involves 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, 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.
