Many thanks to everyone that gave advice on this problem. In the end we got our builders who were already on site to remove the rotten floorboards and sections of the joists. We cleared out the rubble and they put in new joist sections, and took floorboards from upstairs to replace the ones that...

Hi yes! We still haven't made final decision re what to do. And waiting for quote from our builders. Further advice and response to questions would be appreciated :)

A further update.... In addition to the three damp and timber companies that have visited (details in previous post), we've had four more: (4) Kenwoods. Said it was definitely dry rot. Thought the white whispy growth was salts. He was scaremongering... got to do it right, get a guarantee...

We’ve had two damp people already come round and have three more damp/timber/rot specialists to come and have a look over the next week (including Rentakill and Peter Cox). My concern is that they will all say different things and all have their...

Oh no john, we're rather devastated to see your reply ! Is there really no chance it could be Mine Fungus?? I'll copy the email I received earlier from someone... HI Charlotte, From the photos supplied it would appear this is Mine Fungus (Fibroporia Vaillantii). It does require spray...

Hi Ree, Answers to your questions below. I've uploaded photos you requested to an album (which i still cant figure out how to put into these posts!!). Would appreciate any further advice. My sister and I are feeling pretty distressed about this right now and desperately wanting to get it...
