Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can entail a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The sort of renovation work will vary among the kind of the current flooring. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually require repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an appealing attribute of the home. In contemporary houses with carpet or wood floors, renovation is more likely to involve completely replacing the current flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of renovation commonly consists of 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 exchanged, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet.
