Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may involve an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The sort of restoration work will vary among the sort of the existing flooring. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually involve repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an important feature of the house.

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