Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The type of renovation work will vary among the variety of the current flooring. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will probably involve repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an attractive attribute of the house. In contemporary houses with carpet or real wood flooring, restoration is more likely to consist of completely exchanging the existing flooring, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the procedure of restoration generally involves sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles replaced, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will generally require replacing the carpet.
