Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can require 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 variety of the current flooring. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will typically require repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an important attribute of the property. In modern houses with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to require totally replacing the current floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of renovation often involves sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped out, 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.
