Tongue and groove flooring

[Rappid]

Got to pick up some replacement flooring in the morning and forgot to take some measurements, does anybody know what width and depth I need to replace existing floorboards, house was built in 1970's.


Thanks.

usually find that boards are a standard size, bloody metric, so they won't fit anywhere. need to pack up the thickness with beermats and the width, you'll have to cut some thin pieces to fill the gaps.

Best of British with the floorboards.
Last time I did any my mate a joiner made them for me, he even made 1930’s style skirting boards to match the original.
You could try a reclaim yard.

Maybe a stupid and unnecessary question but have you tried asking a flooring company? Maybe they would know.

chipboard and a few copies of the daily sport to make the shortfall in thickness

I suspect it is, given that the OP was over a year ago!

Welcome to the forums.
