floorboards

Hello any help would be really appreciated! Just bought a mid terrace Victorian approx 1900 Removed laminate flooring today and revealed damp concrete hearth, picture attached, the damp has spread out from it, possibly from being trapped under the laminate, and the floor board nearest the left...

We have a few floorboards here and there that have been taken up, either due to wood worm, plumbing or electrics. We will be getting both laminate and carpet through out the house. Currently every single room is stripped back to floorboards, with all old woodwork removed too as we are...

Hi, ever since we moved in to this house there's been a 'thump' noise every time we walk over a particular part of the (downstairs) living room floor, which is a standard floorboards over joists construction. I'd always assumed that this was due to a loose floorboard or two but since taking up...

Hi guys, I need to fix three bedroom floors in a Victorian house (circa 1890) before carpet is laid. In each room there are gaps around the skirting, main bedroom has most of these filled but looks unsightly with cracks etc. another has a few filled and the remaining one has none filled. Some...

Hi, I'm sure this has been asked before, so point me in the right direction if so! Last week I painted our hallway floorboards, after a light sanding. I used B&Q's own white floor paint, and after 2 coats noticed some brown stains seeping through. These stained patches weren't obvious before...

In the process of doing up the house (3 bed,terraced) from top to bottom in stages (whilst living in it) - just had a new kitchen/dining room extension done which included new wiring and consumer unit - however the rest of the house (downstairs/upstairs lights and sockets) minus these rooms...

Good Morning All, I am having a major issue with the new build house we have just bought and the builders seem to be making it worse so looking for ideas to discuss on Monday morning with the builders. When we walk around upstairs you can hear massive popping noises below you can feel it...

I had always intended laying hardboard over the floorboards prior to getting my landing carpeted. The floorboards are in pretty good shape but I will run a plane over them to take out any high spots. My question is, is there any advantage to laying hardboard if I am going to have a good quality...

Hey All We recently bought a flat that was built in the 90's and had to replace some floorboards in the as they had some water damage from a previous owner. The replacing of the boards was easy enough however when under the floors there was a rather strange design! Right at the bottom there...

Hi all. I have a 1960 end terrace house. Problem is this. When I moved in 2.5 years ago, all floorboards were fine, but then the landing started creaking. Next thing I know, all floorboards are creaking. Then the landing floorboards started to bow when stepped on, and now slowly the second...

Hi. I'm fitting new radiators opposite to where the existing radiators are in two first floor bedrooms. I plan to run 15mm plastic pipe along the existing notches (where the boards have already been lifted to fit the existing rads) then I can run along the joists to the new location opposite...

How to fill a large gap between floorboards and new fire place hearth.

Hi All Just moved to a new house and pulled back the carpet in the lounge to find the old floorboards (I assume pine?). They've been painted quite a thick dark green (see pic attached) and I would like to try and restore them back to their original wood and treat them. IMG_6133 by Will B...
