    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.
