Wood flooring

Posted by Chris Scales, on
I have a 1960 bungalow which has floorboards and in the front bedroom has dropped away from the skirting boards at approx 1 inch .

Hi Chris the most likely cause is the joists have rotted resulting in the floor dropping away from the skirting, does the floor bounce when you stand on it? Lift a section of floorboard in the affected area to check the condition of the joists. Ed
