Black spots on floorboards

Posted by Matt Jones, on
Hi, There's what appears to be a rotten end to a floorboard in one room in my house and on the board next to it there is a black spot in the wood around 2 inches big with lots of small spots around it. Is it simply a case of replacing the broken board or is there the possibility of either a damp/pest problem? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi, you should cut the floorboard back to the nearest joist and replace and inspect and asess the cause when doing so. Andy
