Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could entail a variety 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 kind of the pre-existing flooring. In older properties with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will usually entail repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an attractive attribute of the house. In contemporary houses with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve completely exchanging the existing floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of restoration often consists of sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles substituted, followed 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.
