Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may involve 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 upon the type of the current flooring. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will often entail repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an appealing feature of the property. In newer houses with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of completely changing the current flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the method of renovation usually 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 substituted, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will usually require replacing the carpet.
