Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could entail an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The type of restoration work will be based upon the type of the pre-existing flooring. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation is likely to include repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an appealing attribute of the home. In contemporary homes with carpet or real wood flooring, restoration is more likely to require completely changing the current flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of restoration typically entails 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 swapped out, followed 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.
