  • Levelling subfloor in upstairs bedroom

    Hi guys, first time posting here. I'm having a bedroom in a council rented house completely gutted and the subfloor is in very bad state. Damaged and very dirty, I can see noticeable dips in the floor, it's nothing crazy bad but certainly wouldn't be suitable for a hardwood floor to go on top of my naive brain would think. I'm wondering how much or how I'd even go about getting it fixed? Would the whole subfloor need replaced? I've always had wonky floors in my house and I'm sick of it, since this room is gutted I want it done proper from the get go so I'm not rolling about the room like I'm on a rollercoaster. Since it's so dirty I thought just replacing the whole floor might be worth doing instead of cleaning it and then getting it *fixed* but I've no idea what that really entails. Any suggestions welcome.

    Restore vs replace wood floooring

    At what point do I know that my wood flooring is beyond restoration and it would be better off just having it replaced? Is there any way of judging this for myself or should I just get a professional out to take a look?
