Hi
My kitchen (11ft x 13 ft) is due a refurb but for logistical and financial reasons cannot be done for at least a year.
The flooring left by previous occupant is varished tongue and groove in the dining area, over wooden floor boards. I think it was probably done about 10 years ago or more. Next to where the units are on one wall is a piece of vinyl over chipboard, over wooden floor boards. There are metal strips on the interface between the two.
The T&G is broken in places and has seen better days. It is not entirely safe to walk barefoot because of raised nails and cracked boards. Becasue I know that the whole lot will be ripped up in a couple of years i do not want to spend large amounts of cash doing repairs, which is what may happen if I got someone skilled to replace the dodgy pieces of wood.
So I was wondering whether just to whack down the lifted nails, use glue and woodfiller where necessary and use some cheap vinyl just to cover the whole lot for now.
Any comments please on the cheapest, most effective temporary option and anything wrong with my propsed plan
Thank you
