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 type of restoration work will depend upon the kind of the current flooring. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will generally consist of repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an important attribute of the property. In contemporary homes with carpet or wood flooring, renovation is more likely to involve completely exchanging the existing floors, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of restoration typically consists of sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles substituted, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet.
