Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The type of restoration work will be based upon the form of the present flooring. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will probably entail repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be a desirable element of the property. In contemporary properties with carpet or real wood flooring, restoration is more likely to consist of entirely replacing the existing floors, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of restoration usually entails 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 replaced, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will frequently require replacing the carpet.
