Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can require an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The type of renovation work will depend on the kind of the present flooring. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often require repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an appealing attribute of the property. In newer homes with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to require totally changing the current flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of renovation usually consists of sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles replaced, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will frequently require replacing the carpet.
