Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of renovation work will depend on the form of the present floor. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will typically consist of repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the property. In modern homes with carpet or real wood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve completely changing the current flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the procedure of restoration commonly 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, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will usually require replacing the carpet.
