And the existing floorboards are??? Pine, in good nick, in a very bad state? varnished/lacquered/coloured? In all rooms, in one room (which room?)

Hi Mate,
Yes they are yr standard pine floorboards in a 1920s house. They are in pretty poor condition as over the years where plumbers etc have hacked through them. However one company explained that they use reclaim boards, but this obviously puts the price up. Can pine look as good as oak? The boards have not been varnished etc and I was thinking of doing all downstairs.
Cheers

Revamping knackered pineboards is difficult to get a good result, plus is a softwood and tends to turn orange when a natural finish is applied.
