Hello All,
I moved into a house thats 6 years old and i'm having trouble with the flooring in two bedrooms. When walking near the stud wall that seperates the two bedrooms, the wall make creaks and moans. Along the skirting board there is a 1cm (or maybe more) gap in the middle which reduces towards the ends of the room. There is a radiator in each room positioned right were the gap is. I've taken the carpet up in each room and using a torch I can see straight through in to the other room, also I can see the radiator pipes coming up through the floor and into the stud wall. So i'm guesing that the radiators have dried up the wood which has lifted it off the chipboard t&g flooring. I did think that maybe the floor had sunk slightly as it does drop a couple of millimeters when walked over. I've read somewhere that I could knock wooden wedges into the gap from both sides and then fill with filler or foam.
Has anyone got any ideas as this has me baffled.
