Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors.

In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will typically entail repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an attractive element of the property. In modern houses with carpet or real wood floors, renovation is more likely to consist of entirely changing the existing floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the procedure of renovation commonly involves sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped out, followed 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.
