Hi folks,

I'm slowly working through my 1930s house and modernising it and whilst a confident DIYer, i'm struggling to match wood for the skirting and floorboards so wondered if anyone on here can help me track them down please? NB: the requirement is for a small patch in both cases so ripping them off and starting again isn't a great option...

Anyway, top photo below is the skirting. This is one piece but they have it set up in a double layered formation, as in the second photo below (ignore the square section at the front, the bevel has been cut off for some reason....

NB: the piece in the top photo is from the old (1930s) part of the house, the second picture is of the skirting set up the same way in the newer (extension from about 2006) part of the house...

The photo below is the floor boards. They are just over 1" thick and as you can see, its (offset?) tongue and "overlap"(?) rather than tongue and groove.....

So anyway, has anyone seen anything like either of these before and know where I might get some more? Tried the small local timber merchants this morning but they didn't have either in....

Cheers
