Newbie here,

Renovating my own property and currently doing the box room

I've removed all the plaster as it was 'blown' and plan to dryline it myself and have someone skim it

I also need a new door and door lining etc

I've noticed the floorboards are uneven and some are broken. I was planning on fitting a new floor and was wondering what the preference is, ie new tongue and groove floorboards or flooring chipboard.

The room is approx 5'x8' and current floorboards go across the width of the room.

I hope to fully decorate the room once done, new skirtings etc, except for carpets which will be the last job in the house to do

In 6-9 months time I plan to have central heating installed which means the new flooring will have to be take up to access underneath them.

Think it might be better to hold off on doing the flooring until the central heating is done?


Thanks in advance!
 
Do the floor last! If you are carpeting just replace damaged boards, screw down any loose ones and then hardboard over.
