Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The type of restoration work will be based upon the kind of the present flooring. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will generally entail repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an important feature of the property. In contemporary homes with carpet or real wood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve entirely exchanging the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of renovation commonly consists of sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring 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 issues or damage will frequently require replacing the carpet.
