    Laying plywood over wooden floorboards - a few questions

    Thanks for the replies. I'll be putting on underlay and quick step balance LVT as a floating floor. And butt up against the tiles in the adjoining kitchen / utility ? And no gaps form hallway to living room ?

    Cordless jigsaw recommendation - Dewalt or Bosch

    Hi thanks for your replies. And yeah rather not have a third set of batteries to use. and it won’t get used massively, laying plywood floors as the main project and after that maybe just a few times a year for odd jobs. I was originally going to buy a £30 one :cautious::LOL:

    How would I fix this, floorboards with cut in ?

    Probably can't tell from photos but that is in the very corner of the room so not end of the world. And the sofa will pretty much be on top of it. Just not a great start I suppose. But dread replacing an at least 3 entire boards !

    How would I fix this, floorboards with cut in ?

    Hi, Eventually will sand and wax floorboards, so lifted the carpet up today to be presented with a fairly large cut in the floorboards. Looks like it may have been done when the previous ppl replaced the radiator ? Easiest way to repair this, would I get away with sawdust and pva ?
