I have move some floorboards and there is about an inch of old water under them, it looks like it's old water, is this a major problem or is it normal for this time of year with the rain.


In my home, it would not be normal for any water to be under the floorboards anywhere. Exactly what type of construction are you describing, please? Also, where is the home in question located? Knowing these answers would be helpful to you receiving the best answers that you can get here.

I have had a extension and on the old bit under the floor boards, the house is in Cheadle, Cheshire

Where is Cheadle, Cheshire, please? By extension, do you mean something like a porch or deck of some kind? What do you mean by old bit? I apologize for all of the questions. But, for people to really know what you are describing and then to give you helpful information, it would help to know with what you are dealing. This site is viewed by people around the world. So, there may be some differences in how we name and describe things that are otherwise common to all of us.
