Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could entail a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of restoration work will vary among the kind of the pre-existing flooring. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will probably require repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an appealing element of the property. In contemporary houses with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve completely changing the current flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of restoration often involves sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped out, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will frequently require replacing the carpet.
