i am thinking about getting Real Oak Woden Floring but down in my hall
and
kitchen about 30 square metres.

It will involve takingup the existing floorboards as the are in really
bad
condition

Does anyone have any advice comments on doing this / things to look out
for
?

Thanks

Not done personally, but we had 4 inch oak boards put down a year ago.
These were attached to 2x2 battens screwed into concrete.

I think the only think of relevance to you is that as these used secret
(hidden) nailing, the 4 inch boards apparently lessened the chance of
bowing/curling vs wider boards. We also had the boards in the house for a
month to acclimatise before laying them down. Only the slightest
movements perceptible in the last 12 months.
