  • On the floor chat, a lot of my floors are "bouncy" and sink a bit if you put something heavy like a wardrobe on them. Can't get under the floor to look (flooring is all laminate and taking a bit up would be destructive) but wondering if anyone had any thoughts on what may cause that and, more importantly, what we might need to budget to fix it.

    House is standard 1900s terrace.

  • Either the floor joists are rotten and you’re in for a massive, massive bill or the laminate is lifting slightly, usually because it’s expanded a bit and there hasn’t been sufficient space left to accommodate this so it’s bowing, which you can either just ignore or try to alleviate.

    Show us the bits where the floor meets the walls and skirting.

  • Bouncy laminate is my hope, rotten joists is the fear.

    I'll get pictures later but can't see much where the floor meets the skirting to indicate either way..
