Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of restoration work will depend on the form of the pre-existing flooring. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will usually entail repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an attractive attribute of the home. In newer properties with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to consist of entirely changing the current floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of restoration typically involves sanding the top layer of 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 generally require replacing the carpet.
