Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The kind of renovation work will depend on the kind of the current floor. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will often entail repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an appealing feature of the property. In newer houses with carpet or hardwood floors, renovation is more likely to require completely exchanging the existing flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the procedure of renovation generally entails sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles exchanged, accompanied 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.
