What is this dooorinf in 1920’s/30’s house ?!

I appreciate it’s hard to see but all I can think is it might be terrazzo? But I don’t think that was what was usually in these houses back then was it?

Oh you’re a star, thank you.

Yep I can sympathise with that. Our last house we had an extension built and I actually cried one day when the electricians left 😆

Not so much bodge, more a case of its an old house, it hasn't been touched for a long time and you find unexpected things. For example, I decided to chop down an overgrown bush in front of a bay window.....to find the wall behind needed repointing... Then there was the time I decided to put Amtico down - to find the area in question had 3 different types of floor beneath and each required preparing differently and at great cost....The list goes on...
