Room with a dip in the middle

[natav]

Because of subsidence (now settled - it's a v old house) our large upstairs bedroom dips in the middle. If we lay new oak boards on top of old pine boards how do we deal with this dip? what do we put beneath the new boards to make them even? At the moment you can physically notice the dip when you walk across the room.

Any advice much appreciated.

Many thanks.

Now I'm no expert here compared to (most) others but it seems like you need to screed the floor in the area of the dip in order to make it level. At Wickes I think they call is self-levelling compound. It would be useful to know how deep the dip is at its deepest.

Good idea, in an upstairs bedroom?

Natav, why meddle with the character of your v old house? Thousands of floors round the country are not flat.
