Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can entail an array 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 form of the present floor. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will often consist of repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the house. In modern homes with carpet or real wood floors, renovation is more likely to consist of totally replacing the current flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of restoration generally involves 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 substituted, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will usually require replacing the carpet.
