Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors.

For wooden flooring, the process of renovation usually consists of sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining.

For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will typically require replacing the carpet.
