Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The type of renovation work will vary among the kind of the present floor. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually include repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an important element of the property. In modern houses with carpet or wood floors, renovation is more likely to consist of totally replacing the existing flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the procedure of renovation typically involves sanding the top layer of wood 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 problems or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet.
