Bowed living room floor

Question

Hi,

I've noticed a slight bowing in the floor in my living room/dining room. Our survey didn't pick up any subsidence so I don't think it's that but I think the issue might be with the wooden floorboards under the carpet. 

Googling has made me think I might need floorboards and joists replaced but I wanted to know - what scope of job should I be expecting to enter into? For a room measuring roughly 4m by 7m. Would it be a fix costing 1000s, tens of 1000s?

Any help or advice appreciated.

It would be very difficult to say without looking unfortunately, worse case it would be a full new floor with joists  which would be in the thousands.

Don't panic.I think you might have probably hardboard could be ply on top of your floorboards. It should just need renailing on the parts that have blown. (Blown is a floor layers term for exactly the problem you got).just need a carpet fitter to take up the carpet repin the relay carpet .should be a a minimum charge. Glad to help
