Replacing concrete Hearth with Floorboards
Posted: Fri Apr 25, 2008 3:27 pm
Does anyone have any experience of having to replace a hearth with floorboards ?
My problem is this: I want to sand the floorboards that are in my dining room but the chimney breast / fireplace that was originally in the room has been removed leaving a concrete / tiled hearth.
Is this something I should be getting a builder to do ? I have fairly decent DIY skills but am not sure whether this project will entail replacing joists etc.. Am I taking on something that usually requires a professional ?
thanks.
