Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of renovation work will be based upon the variety of the existing floor. In older homes with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will generally consist of repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an attractive attribute of the home. In newer homes with carpet or real wood floors, renovation is more likely to require entirely replacing the current floors, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of restoration usually involves sanding the top layer of 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 problems or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet.
