Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of renovation work will vary among the kind of the present flooring. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will probably involve repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be a desirable feature of the property. In newer houses with carpet or real wood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve completely replacing the existing floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of restoration generally involves sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles exchanged, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will typically require replacing the carpet.
