Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve 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 upon the kind of the current floor. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will usually entail repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an important feature of the house. In newer properties with carpet or hardwood floors, renovation is more likely to involve totally changing the current floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of renovation usually entails sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles substituted, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet.
