Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of renovation work will be based upon the form of the present flooring. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will typically include repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an important element of the house. In modern houses with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to require completely changing the current floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of renovation commonly involves sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped out, 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.
