Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could entail a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring.

In contemporary properties with carpet or hardwood floors, renovation is more likely to involve totally replacing the current floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the procedure of renovation generally entails sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped out, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet.
