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 type of restoration work will depend on the kind of the current flooring. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often entail repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an attractive attribute of the home. In modern properties with carpet or wood floors, renovation is more likely to require completely replacing the current flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of restoration generally 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, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will typically require replacing the carpet.
