Flooring Renovation

In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often entail repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an important element of the home. In newer homes with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to involve completely replacing the current flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of restoration usually involves 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 commonly require replacing the carpet.
