Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of renovation work will be based upon the kind of the existing floor. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will generally entail repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be a desirable element of the home. In modern houses with carpet or wood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve entirely changing the current flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the procedure of renovation typically entails sanding the top layer of hardwood 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 issues or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet.
