Thanks for the tip! Will take a look.

Thanks for the quick response; it's most appreciated. I'm still trying to figure out where the wiring is as the kitchen was put in by a previous owner! There's a built in oven underneath so no access to the wall behind it. There's no evidence of sockets on either side of the oven so it's a...

Thanks for both of your replies, much appreciated. The hollow sound does not affect all the blocks so I don't think it's a character of the wood itself. Gluing as a solution is in fact the problem! Because a large number of the blocks are affected, regluing all of these comes at a price! The...

A refurb company tapped on my orginal parquet blocks (about 2.5 cm deep). Many had a hollower sound than others so they say those are not firmly glued to the floor and need to be re-laid. Given that they are strongly stuck to each other, even if there is a gap underneath, could the force...
