Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The type of restoration work will be based upon the variety of the current flooring. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will typically entail repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be a desirable attribute of the house. In contemporary homes with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve totally changing the current floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of restoration usually consists of sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring 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 issues or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet.
