Floorboards

[milbo1990]

Hi,

I've pulled up some damaged floorboards in my 1930's house, which I assume to be original. I've measured these as roughly 114mm x 12mm.

As far as I can see, I can't get any replacement boards of the same size, or even thickness (which is the main requirement).

Does anyone know where I could get some replacement boards from, or even what other options I might have?

Thanks in advance.

Wot - 1/2" thick floor boards....are you certain?
One popular size of the day was 112mm wide (4 1/2") x 22 (7/8") thick - if you really need 1/2" boards, I guess its buy the thicker stuff and have them planed down....they'll lose the T&G with adjoining stuff though.

give your local reclamation yard a ring and see if they have anything of similar size?

Sound like they have been planed severely , replace with 22mm boards.
Do some work in a large house were the boards are down to 10-12mm, heavy wardrobe feet punched a hole thru the floor due to the thin boards.
