  • Bowed living room floor

    Hi, I've noticed a slight bowing in the floor in my living room/dining room. Our survey didn't pick up any subsidence so I don't think it's that but I think the issue might be with the wooden floorboards under the carpet. Googling has made me think I might need floorboards and joists replaced but I wanted to know - what scope of job should I be expecting to enter into? For a room measuring roughly 4m by 7m. Would it be a fix costing 1000s, tens of 1000s? Any help or advice appreciated.

    Is bedroom tiling possible

    Can tiling in a bedroom work? Is there something that can be done to make it work, whether it be purely down to the general design, layout and look of the room? Is there perhaps something more I could do or something that a designer could come in to help with? As I’m interested in the possibility of laying tiles in my bedroom to give it a sort of Mediterranean look?
