Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of restoration work will depend upon the variety of the existing floor. In older properties with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will generally include repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an important attribute of the home. In modern properties with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of completely changing the current flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of restoration typically entails sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped out, followed 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.
