Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The sort of renovation work will depend on the variety of the current floor. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will typically consist of repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an appealing element of the home. In modern houses with carpet or wood floors, restoration 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 flooring, the process of renovation usually consists of sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining.

For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will generally require replacing the carpet.
