Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could entail a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The type of renovation work will depend upon the form of the current flooring. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will often consist of repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an appealing attribute of the home. In modern houses with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of entirely changing the existing floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of renovation commonly involves 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.
