Hi all,
A couple of days ago we noticed a considerable sag in the floor at the top of the stairs. I've pulled the carpet up and have found that a section of the floorboard has split. Picture below:
I thought this would be straight forward to replace but would like to double check what I should be using. I've just come back from B&Q with some chipboard (606mmx1220x18) that's the same thickness but it doesn't look as dense as the part that needs replacing (if that makes sense).
The old piece is 10" x 16" so quite small. Would the chipboard I've bought be ok for this or should I be looking at something else? Last thing I want is for the wife to fall through the ceiling because I've used the wrong stuff!
thanks for any help
Shaun
