- Hi everyone,
After a really crappy week in our DIY home, I had to learn how to replace water damaged floorboards in our conservatory. Here's how I did it.
Next I will be on to the carpeting, so please subscribe if you want to follow my journey. I've got a long way to go!

Good on you for your confidence and practical intuition! I wish all women were as comfortable using tools and fixing problems as you are. You're a fantastic example of learning by doing without getting bogged down in all of the terminology and ego that saturates the building and DIY industry. Keep up the great work! :)
Thanks :) It was pretty scary doing this project at the time because I'd never done it before, but it's funny how I'm looking back at it now thinking, what was I worried about? lol
Your amazing vikkie, I only just started watching your videos and love your enthusiasm to try anything. Better than the robbing prices most trades chance now. Better to try and learn than not learn at all I say 😀😀you did a mint job but one tip!! Take you time. You need rest as well to do your jobs the best. Well done 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thanks 😀 This was so stressful as I'd never done anything like this before - and so funny to look back how nervous I was, which was tiring lol. Thankfully I have a few simpler jobs coming up. As long as I complete one job a week (little or big), then I'm happy 😀
The Carpenter's Daughter . One job a week sounds good haha take care and I will follow your videos and subscribe. Cheers 👌👌👌👌😜
Hi. Thanks for the great video. What did you fill the gaps between the boards with?
Good work, Vikkie! I once put my foot through my mum's previous bathroom floor due to an unseen leak. That was a horrible job to sort out but rewarding in the end... I think I can imagine what you've been through with this. :-)
Thanks Olly :) Just fitted the carpet and skirting boards today too but can't wait for a big fat lie in! x
Watched your video earlier. Carpet fitting looks quite straight forward, with your demonstration. I won't use the term 'easy' as I'm sure a roll of any size is awkward and heavy!
haha, definitely not doing it again for a huge room or with a creased carpet. When I first tried it, I spent hours while following a B&Q tutorial which really sent me round the houses. Small rooms are so easy in comparison x

Damp patch chipboard repair on concrete
You definitely need a impact driver of some sort makes life real easy great video 👍🏼😁
Your original boards might have been water resistant. That does not mean waterproof. The boards will not be damaged by water if you dry it up soon after a spillage, but if water is allowed to lie like from a constant leak, they will eventually succumb to water damage. The same applies to your new Wickes boards. Always deal with leaks as soon as possible to avoid damage.
+Replevideo thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the guidance. I now know how to fix the knackered floor in the en suite!
Hope it went well 😀
hey, thank you for this video i currently need to replace the chip board in my bedroom after an incident and now its soaked through. i have no experience with this kinda thing but have taken to trial and erroring all the repairs in my house and i was wondering if you could give me tips on how to get the hold manky floor up first?
Just be careful when you rip up the floorboards. You need to make sure you're not cutting in to any of the structural beams underneath and you need to make sure when you replace them in a way that all edges are also supported by the beams. Once you've done that, it should be easy to cut new ones to screw back down.
thank you for the advice!
omg vikkie!you are a very clever young lady. 👍 💞
Thank you Norma :) It's definitely all a learning curve! x
Hope you aren't really using that SDS masonry bit for the pilot holes!
Yeah, a lovely lady.
+bahons72 awww, thanks :)
Are flooring screws worthwhile then or are they just snake oil?
If I knew about flooring screws at the time, I would have bought them 😄
Not enough support.. I'm sure there floorboards are designed for certain width in joists
You should really invest in an impact driver, they make quite a lot of difference with screws
Yes, I've been looking at them! I quite fancy a Stanley Fat Max screwdriver instead though - I was blown away after using my Dad's down his yard. It put my newer Bosch one to shame!
The Carpenter's Daughter I got the fatmax twin pack from b&q when they were £120, I wasn't expecting them to be fantastic but they actually are really good, I use mine on the car as well and with a full battery it can get some really tight bolts out and gets them tight as well. The drill with some really sharp bits got through 5 mm of angle in about 4 seconds and nearly broke your wrist when it bit on the last bit it's got some really good torque. The only thing I don't like about the fatmax stuff is the batteries, they're hard to find and only come in 1.3 1.5 and 2.0 ah sizes, which is not always enough if you're doing a lot you find yourself swapping batteries and charging allll the time, but I did see a black and decker drill that looks 98% the same and the batteries are the same 1.5 ah ones just black and orange so they'll fit but I also found out that Stanley black and decker and dewalt are all owned by the same people and apparently dewalt batteries will fit if you chop a little prong off them (yet to try it though) but the Stanley stuff really is better than expected and I'd deffo recommend anyone to get them
are you not supposed to glue the tongue and groove?
Yes, stops squeaking.
Why did you not show us the damaged floor ? Wickes aint the cheapest place to go for materials either. Good on you for sorting it out yourself tho.
I probably hadn't planned on doing a video of it to be honest. I document my DIY very differently now.
