2.5 inches of chipboard... bloody eck

if your floor is 2.5 inch chipboard I would suggest you seak advise before ripping it out. It may be a framed strut house and the floors hold the walls in place.

I am not seeking to do the work myself, I am wondering what a trades person would charge for such a job. It will need to be replaced because parts are soft due to water damage. The under floor support is really a layer of hard board, then a layer of chip board (the stuff you buy from b and q that clips together) and then another layer of hardboard that the tiles etc sit on. There is also a plastic membrane that lays under all of that.
