Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail 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 variety of the existing flooring. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will typically consist of repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an attractive element of the property. In modern homes with carpet or wood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve totally exchanging the current flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the procedure of renovation often entails sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped out, 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.
