Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The type of renovation work will be based upon the variety of the present flooring. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will usually consist of repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an appealing attribute of the house. In newer properties with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to involve completely replacing the existing floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of renovation generally 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 issues or damage will usually require replacing the carpet.
