Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The kind of renovation work will be based upon the type of the present floor. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will often involve repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an appealing attribute of the house. In newer properties with carpet or wood floors, renovation is more likely to consist of completely replacing the existing floors, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of restoration generally involves sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped out, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will generally require replacing the carpet.
