Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can require an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The sort of restoration work will depend upon the form of the existing floor. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will probably involve repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an important element of the house. In modern homes with carpet or hardwood floors, renovation is more likely to consist of entirely replacing the current flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of renovation 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 swapped, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet.
