I fitted new boards in my bathroom, and I screwed the boards down. I later decided to get new central heating installed. The so-called heating engineer didn't bother to unscrew the boards, he ripped them out with a crowbar destroying my work. I had to replace all the boards he had damaged. A costly job.
Thank you for the video. Very useful and encouraging for a novice like me. I've got old 1950s flat floor nails in my floorboards and I'm wondering what tools could be good for removing those if some are left behind after the old floorboards come up. Great backing soundtrack by the way. What's the soundtrack? I'd like to hear more of that.
I actually prefer moisture resistant chipboard flooring myself as there are no creeks when put down correctly, the only reason I used floorboards is because it was an insurance job so it has to go back the same.
Its an insurance job so there was no insulation before so unless the customer wants to pay for it which they didn't, then I am not allowed to put it back , and the customer wanted staggered joints not long lengths , does that answer your question?

Just hammer them back out from the other side
Great video and advice, got mine to do but though i might lag the central heating pipes whilst the floor is up..
Good luck buddy hope all goes well 👍
Why not use secret nailing?
The customer wanted it screwed down and it was having carpet over it
Get yourself some decent boots pal. That’s gunna hurt if you stand on them nails. Just subbed👍
Enjoyed the Video. What is the benefit to using the floor boards as opposed to Plywood or OSB?
I actually prefer moisture resistant chipboard flooring myself as there are no creeks when put down correctly, the only reason I used floorboards is because it was an insurance job so it has to go back the same.
What screws are you using pal
Are you in Sheffield
Sorry I’m in Essex
Should there be a gap between each board or just an expansion gap around the edge of the room?
The board I laid was tongue & groove so explanation around the edges where other boards which have a gap between them that is your expansion gap
Use clamps. Do a good job, even if they are being covered with carpet. Do it right.
What tradesman does this? Is it carpenter?
Hi mate, how do you go about floorboards that run under block walls? Do you simply cut up them flush to the wall?
Yes mate just make sure that you put in new timber to carry the new boards if necessary
@@ipfishing1466 Top man, Thanks for the Advice
Where do you buy your floorboards from please as I have to do the same job and prices seem crazy
I brought these from Travis Perkins and yes prices are mental.
Would it be beneficial adding insulation? & Why have you not used whole lengths?
Its an insurance job so there was no insulation before so unless the customer wants to pay for it which they didn't, then I am not allowed to put it back , and the customer wanted staggered joints not long lengths , does that answer your question?
It does... thanks for taking the time to answer my question 😊
