Hi All
We have just had a new extension which has an upper floor supported with 2.5" x 6" joists at 400 centres. The span is about 10-12ft.
Initially we had chipboard flooring and it creaked, so I asked the builder to lay 1" T&G softwood. Initially things were better, but now the creaking is as bad as it was before.
I am reluctant to take up the floor again, but the creaking is driving me nuts.
Does anyone have any ideas what causing the problem please?
