Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The type of renovation work will depend on the type of the pre-existing floor. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will probably require repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an attractive element of the home. In modern houses with carpet or real wood flooring, renovation is more likely to consist of completely replacing the current floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of renovation 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 swapped, 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.
