Floorboards gaps and filling

5 years ago

Just taken the carpet up in our spare room and we are going to paint the floor boards but the boards are quite gappy and we have concerns about dust. Any suggestions? Should we fill the gaps? Also gaps between floor and skirting?

I don't dislike the fillers, but the whole point of them is to stop draughts. The boards swell and retract with the humidity in the house and long term fillers or fillets are a good solution. Taking the boards up although messy is a good solution. Just remember that the houses were built to have air circulating, hence the vents in the fireplaces when people block them up and air bricks for under the floors. This is a newer product that you press between the boards, so you still see the gaps but lessen the draught. Draughtex

Clad the brickwork with some nice slatted timber like cedar or larch and build a door to match, like a secret door. Add some box balls in cubed pots and space out along base of wall for added interest.

Hi all, thanks for all your suggestions! @Victoria, @Jonathan Early on in the process, we did enquire about whether they'd consider selling their cooker. But it didn't lead to anywhere. As we didn't quite know the condition of it, and they're now in the process of moving it out to their new place, we thought it's better to get a new one ourselves (mid-range) if it wasn't straightforward to replace it with a normal cooker. @Daisy England Space is about 100cm and with a standard cooker, probably about a space of 40cm left. Not sure what to put there so it doesn't look out of place. @Ellie I was thinking like a trolley but for condiments etc. maybe? but need to sort of fit into the whole aesthetic of the kitchen... I don't have a pic unfortunately! I think we might end up just getting a range cooker - especially if the cost of remodelling kitchen tops to fit a standard cooker plus a standard cooker works out the same as just getting a range cooker!
