We live in a smallish victorian 3 bed double bay terrace and the downstairs rooms have been knocked through. As with many other parts of the house, the floorboards are in need of repair and has been bodged over the years. The floorboards seem in reasonable condition apart from where the room partition used to be where the floorboards have been replaced with a various bits of wood and some tng loftboard which has now snapped.
My wife wants carpet, but the flooring will need repairing before this can go down. I want floorboards but I'm not sure the best way to repair the area where they are broken and mismatched.
The room is about 8m x 4m and we've got less than £1000 to spend.
The floorboards are 140mm wide and 21mm deep.
Any advice on how to repair the floor and/or sort out the floorboards would be appreciated.
