Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of renovation work will vary among the variety of the pre-existing floor. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will usually include repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the property. In newer houses with carpet or wood flooring, restoration is more likely to require totally exchanging the existing flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of restoration typically involves sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles exchanged, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will frequently require replacing the carpet.
