Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of restoration work will depend upon the kind of the present floor. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will usually require repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an important feature of the house. In modern properties with carpet or real wood floors, renovation is more likely to require entirely replacing the current flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of restoration commonly entails sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles replaced, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will frequently require replacing the carpet.
