Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can entail a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The kind of renovation work will depend upon the form of the existing flooring. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will typically require repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an attractive attribute of the property. In newer homes with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to require completely changing the current floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of restoration often involves sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles replaced, 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.
