Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can entail an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The type of restoration work will depend on the variety of the pre-existing floor. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will typically entail repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an attractive attribute of the house. In modern homes with carpet or real wood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve totally replacing the existing floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of renovation usually 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 substituted, accompanied 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.
