Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors.

In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually involve repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be a desirable attribute of the house. In modern properties with carpet or wood floors, renovation is more likely to consist of completely replacing the existing floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the method of restoration often entails sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining.

For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet.
