Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The sort of renovation work will depend on the sort of the present floor. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration is likely to include repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be a desirable element of the home. In contemporary houses with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to consist of totally changing the current floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the method of renovation commonly consists of sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors 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 usually require replacing the carpet.
