We had a loft conversion done in the summer and we've noticed that since the cold weather really kicked in, going up into the loft and walking across the floor first thing in the morning (before the heating has been on) the floor "cracks". It's not a creak... it's what can only be described as a cracking sound. It happens once, and if you pace around the room taking care to step on every board, that's it. There are no more creaks, no more cracks.
The floor is chipboard and we're going to be carpeting it. Do you think the underlay and carpet will stop this from happening? It's very noisy first thing in the morning!
