    Ours is 100% wood I think, certainly no chipboard in there. The lower layers seem to be plywood or similar

    Thanks for the reply. I cancelled the insurance in the end. The damage is not too bad. I'm currently blasting the affected area with a fan 24/7 and it seems to be drying out OK. The surface of the boards is fine.
    I think I made the right decision, but we'll see... maybe in a few months time, the floor will start bulging and cracking all over the place! But still, £300 will cover a few replacements boards.

    It seems you will be OK then, good news!
