Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail a variety 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 pre-existing floor. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will generally involve repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be a desirable feature of the house. In newer homes with carpet or wood flooring, restoration is more likely to consist of totally exchanging the current flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the method of renovation usually 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, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will typically require replacing the carpet.
