Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of renovation work will be based upon the kind of the pre-existing flooring. In older properties with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration is likely to involve repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an important element of the house. In contemporary houses with carpet or hardwood floors, renovation is more likely to require completely replacing the current flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the procedure of restoration often involves 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 replaced, 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.
