Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The type of restoration work will vary among the type of the existing floor. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will probably include repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an important feature of the house. In newer properties with carpet or wood flooring, renovation is more likely to require totally replacing the existing flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the method of restoration usually entails sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles replaced, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will typically require replacing the carpet.
