Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The sort of restoration work will depend on the type of the current flooring. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation is likely to include repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an attractive attribute of the home. In contemporary homes with carpet or real wood flooring, renovation is more likely to require completely exchanging the current floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the procedure of renovation generally 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 issues or damage will usually require replacing the carpet.
