Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can entail a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The type of restoration work will depend upon the type of the current flooring. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will typically involve repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an important element of the property. In modern homes with carpet or wood floors, renovation is more likely to consist of totally changing the existing flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of restoration often involves 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 substituted, accompanied 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.
