Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The kind of restoration work will depend on the kind of the present floor. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will generally entail repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the property. In contemporary homes with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to consist of completely changing the current flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of restoration typically 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 exchanged, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet.
