Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of restoration work will vary among the kind of the pre-existing flooring. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually require repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be a desirable element of the house. In newer houses 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 process of restoration typically consists of sanding the top layer of real wood 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 issues or damage will usually require replacing the carpet.
