Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may involve an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of renovation work will depend upon the sort of the present flooring. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually consist of repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an attractive element of the property. In newer houses with carpet or wood flooring, restoration is more likely to consist of entirely replacing the existing floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of restoration often entails sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped out, 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.
