In newer houses with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of totally changing the existing flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of renovation generally involves sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining.

For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will usually require replacing the carpet.
