Hi there,
Before getting new bedroom and hallway carpets replaced I need to replace some small areas where floorboards have been damaged by past work done under the floors. One is a short length of a single board, the other is a two-board width approx 130cm long (currently there is a piece of failing plywood here) which is outside three bedrooms so it does get a fair bit of traffic.
I happen to have some very sound blockboard doors taken from a 1970s built-in wardrobe which (providing they are the correct thickness, I will check this when I lift the floorboards) I was wondering if I could use for the job.
Any opinions on whether this would be OK or should I just go and buy new timber boards?
I'm not fussed about buying stuff, I just like to recycle where I can but only if it's suitable for the job.
Thanks.
