Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of restoration work will vary among the type of the present floor. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration is likely to include repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an appealing element of the home. In contemporary homes with carpet or wood floors, renovation is more likely to involve completely exchanging the existing flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the procedure of renovation often 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 swapped, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will frequently require replacing the carpet.
