***URGENT UPDATE****
Saleem has just contacted me and will let me know the dimensions and areas in a little while.
Apparently the builders are removing it now and it needs to go tomorrow some time.
There is a smaller area of original boards which date from 1859 so actually even rarer and some other boards from a later extension which I am not aware of their date. Let me know as they will not hang around long.
Hello everyone. A wonderful customer of mine just contacted me this morning to ask about more work, he is getting underfloor heating fitted in his downstairs kitchen diner/lounge area and thus needs engineered flooring to be fitted and matched to his 1887 seven inch wide Victorian pine floor boards I restored for him to the upstairs.
That also means he has a quantity of reclaimed pine flooring that he needs to get rid of and he offered me first refusal.
I cannot remember what the downstairs boards looked like and am checking on the dimensions now, but the upstairs were indeed high quality 1887 Victorian pine, 7 inch (175mm) wide and if the downstairs boards match they will indeed be quite rare! The house is a substantial 7 bed detached property with a high quality period interior.
I would probably go and facilitate the removal of the boards to ensure some donkey doesn't break half of them during lifting. I am reducing my stock of boards as my storage is so expensive it costs me to supply timber so I would only be interested in a few pieces for minor repairs.
If anyone else is in need of quality and bona fide reclaimed 1887 period floor boards then please pm me! Hopefully Saleem should get back to me today with all the areas, sizes and dimensions, I can even show people pictures of the boards as restored (by my very self) elsewhere in the property. It would be a shame if these boards were broken up during removal and the few remaining planks sold to a random reclamation yard.
I have no idea of prices yet but seeing as boards of this quality go for £70 to £100 sqm I am sure they will be very good value as although Saleem is a banker, he is one of the nicest and most human bankers I have worked for (maybe the only one!) and I don't actually think he is a greedy man. As I recall we had wine and cheese during the job, discussed philosophy and he gave me a book, so let me know! I think, from memory the area may be around 20 to 40 sqm.
