Hi - I'm looking at buying a house which has solid wood, juncker-style flooring. In spots around the house, the flooring is pretty creaky and in someplaces it's a bit springy (you can press up and down on the floor to get the creaking going). I'm told the floor is only a year old....
I'm thinking that perhaps the problem is that the floor has not been given enough room to expand. Is this a factor for solid wood flooring just like it is for floorboards?
I was thinking perhaps the remedy would be to remove the skirtings and cut back the wood by an inch or so for an expansion gap.
Or will I just ruin a perfectly good floor?
