The floorbords go under the walls because in modern housebuilding the
majority of the upstairs walls are constructed as stud walls. The
floor joists are put in and then simply boarded over front to back
before the stud walls are errected over the top. If you are lucky it
is floorboards, but these days more and more houses are having
chipboard laid down as it is quicker and cheaper for the chippy.
