Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The type of restoration work will vary among the kind of the existing floor. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will generally require repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an attractive attribute of the home. In modern properties with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to involve totally replacing the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of renovation typically 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, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will typically require replacing the carpet.
