Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of renovation work will be based upon the form of the present floor. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation is likely to involve repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an appealing element of the house. In modern properties with carpet or hardwood floors, renovation is more likely to require entirely replacing the current flooring, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of restoration usually consists of sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors 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 generally require replacing the carpet.
