Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of renovation work will depend on the type of the pre-existing floor. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will typically require repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be a desirable feature of the property. In newer properties with carpet or real wood floors, renovation is more likely to consist of completely changing the current floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of renovation usually 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 swapped out, 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.
