Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The type of renovation work will be based upon the type of the current flooring. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will probably consist of repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an appealing attribute of the property. In contemporary houses with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to require entirely replacing the existing flooring, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of restoration commonly consists of sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring 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 typically require replacing the carpet.
