Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The kind of restoration work will depend upon the kind of the pre-existing flooring. In older properties with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually require repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an appealing attribute of the property. In modern homes with carpet or hardwood floors, renovation is more likely to involve totally changing the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the procedure of renovation often entails sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles replaced, followed 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.
