Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The type of renovation work will be based upon the sort of the current flooring. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will generally include repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be a desirable element of the home. In newer homes with carpet or wood flooring, restoration is more likely to consist of completely exchanging the existing flooring, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of renovation typically 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 substituted, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will generally require replacing the carpet.
