Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The type of restoration work will be based upon the kind of the pre-existing flooring. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often entail repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be a desirable element of the home. In modern houses with carpet or real wood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve entirely replacing the current floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of renovation typically entails 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 swapped, accompanied 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.
