Hi
We are going to redo an upstairs bathroom. It is a very old house so has wooden floorboards (currently painted white) with large gaps between and a fair bit of damage from over the years.
Under the floor we have a lot of electrics and a main gas pipe as below is our electric/gas cupboard.
I would consider tiling the floor but my concern is any problem with gas or electric may then mean we have to rip up our tiled floor? Am I being over cautious ? do most people lay permenant over these things and just deal with it if it ever needs to come up for maintenance?
Would love your thoughts on this.... What other option is there? e.g. a tighter floorboard or? We want to stay high end so don't really want to use vinyl etc.
Thanks in advance!
