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 kind of restoration work will depend on the type of the current floor. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will usually consist of repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an appealing feature of the property. In newer houses with carpet or wood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve entirely changing the current flooring, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of restoration typically entails 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 substituted, 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.
