floorboard

Hi guys, Tore out a bathroom and obviously there had been a previous leak judging by the floorboards. Joists were fine, and slightly older joists were reinforced/had the load distributed using noggins for good measure. Now, one of the slightly “blacker” floorboards sits partially along the...

Hi all, Offer accepted on a house - some issues which we have concerns about. We had a decent budget to do repairs but fear it could tip into being over budget for us. We are motivated first time buyers happy to have some Reno work done and intend to use tradespeople. Bathroom has what looks...

Hi all, Please bear with me as this is my first post and not use to being on the internet. I have some questions I hope someone can help me with. I have recently had my whole house rewired. Obviously I knew there would be mess and disruption. Question 1/ Can I ask when the guys cut floor boards...

Upstairs bathroom currently in refurbishment, an older property with wooden joists and rough 20mm floorboards. Around the door area there is a significant dip that I need to level out. Once this is levelled out level, I'm aiming for 18mm ply will be screwed on top the whole floor, and then a...

I'm looking to get a bulk insulation order just for insulating under the floorboards. I have found Ravatherm blocks being sold as offcuts which has dimensions 1200mm x 600mm x 200mm. Ravatherm is a type of dense polystyrene. The seller has not specified what type of Ravatherm and thinks it is...

Hi, I'm moving into a new home with unbelievably squeaky floorboards and carpet already laid over the top.

Can anyone please explain what is causing this wet damp patch on the floor board here? The underside and sides are completely dry as shown so can't be moisture from bottom at joist level and there are no radiator pipes running, only from under second floorboard. My initial guess is...

Hi there's a gap between the floor and the skirting/ wall in my room that's about half way across and it does feel uneven to me. Ive had lots of floorboards screwed in recently and also noticed a screw that was just screwed in between a floorboard straight into a joist recently, I've moved it...

hi there, Just moved into a new flat and the floorboards are creaking. Want to sort it before putting carpet down. I assumed that I would be able to nail or screw them down to sort the problem but when I attempted to nail them I realised it was a concrete base underneath. I didn't even realise...

I'm due to lay plank effect tiles, 600x150mm in my first floor bathroom next week but can't decide on the method and materials. The existing floor is 22mm chipboard and I'm worried laying a Plyboard that's too thin will crack the long thin tiles, I'm torn between 9mm and 12mm Plyboard but is...

I'm removing embedded 4" nails (which are recessed by 2mm below the surface) on hardwood floorboards. I tried following this Youtube video , which needs a corded drill with plugcutter drillbits and a nail remover. The only issue is the part where the nail remover is hammered down onto the nail...
