Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The sort of renovation work will depend upon the kind of the pre-existing flooring. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually include repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be a desirable feature of the property. In contemporary homes with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of totally exchanging the existing flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the procedure of restoration typically entails sanding the top layer of wood 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 issues or damage will typically require replacing the carpet.
