Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can require an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The type of renovation work will be based upon the kind of the pre-existing flooring. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will typically entail repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an important feature of the home. In modern properties with carpet or hardwood floors, renovation is more likely to require entirely changing the current floors, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of restoration often 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 problems or damage will generally require replacing the carpet.
