Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could entail a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The type of renovation work will be based upon the form of the pre-existing flooring. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will typically entail repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the house. In newer homes with carpet or real wood floors, renovation is more likely to involve entirely exchanging the existing flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the procedure of renovation 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 swapped, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will usually require replacing the carpet.
