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 restoration work will depend upon the variety of the pre-existing flooring. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will probably entail repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an important feature of the property. In newer houses with carpet or hardwood flooring, renovation is more likely to involve totally replacing the existing flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the method of restoration commonly entails sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles replaced, accompanied 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.
