Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could entail an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The sort of restoration work will depend on the type of the existing floor. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually involve repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be a desirable attribute of the property. In contemporary houses with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to require totally exchanging the existing flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of renovation typically consists of sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles exchanged, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will frequently require replacing the carpet.
