Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The kind of renovation work will be based upon the form of the existing floor. In older homes with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation is likely to include repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the house. In contemporary houses with carpet or hardwood flooring, renovation is more likely to involve entirely replacing the existing floors, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of restoration usually consists of sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles exchanged, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will frequently require replacing the carpet.
