Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of restoration work will be based upon the type of the pre-existing floor. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will typically consist of repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an important attribute of the property. In contemporary houses with carpet or hardwood flooring, renovation is more likely to consist of entirely changing the current floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of restoration generally involves sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles substituted, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet.
