Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require a variety 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 existing floor. In older homes with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will typically include repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an important feature of the house. In newer properties with carpet or real wood flooring, renovation is more likely to involve entirely exchanging the existing flooring, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of renovation commonly involves sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles replaced, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will usually require replacing the carpet.
