Hi all,
I've bought a 2 up-2 down house which needs a lot of renovation. I'm currently tackling the kitchen and plan to do as much as I can myself, being a fairly competent DIY'er!
Kitchen is about 17m2, downstairs is roughly double that, around 34m2
The floorboards are in a sorry state, having been lifted several times. I plan on lifting them, make sure all the pipes are lagged properly and fit Celotex or similar between the joists and making sure that there is good ventilation.
I also need to remove an hearth, fit new joists too.
I plan to have LVT fitted, I'm undecided the best way forward if I was to the floorboards, should I replace all the floorboards with new and overboard with 6mm ply, or would I be fine just to remove the floorboards and fit 18mm ply down??
Any advice / suggestions much appreciated!!!!
Thanks!
