Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The type of renovation work will be based upon the form of the pre-existing flooring. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will typically involve repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an appealing element of the home. In contemporary homes with carpet or hardwood flooring, renovation is more likely to require totally replacing the existing flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of renovation commonly consists of sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will generally require replacing the carpet.
