Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of restoration work will depend upon the type of the current flooring. In older homes with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will often consist of repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be a desirable attribute of the property. In newer properties with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to require totally 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 typically involves sanding the top layer of wood 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 issues or damage will frequently require replacing the carpet.
