I am trying to stop very creaky bedroom floors and hoped to do so just by screwing down the chipboard panels. However, most of the noise is coming from along the T&G and the boards are generally well secured to the joists. So plan B is to replace the chipboard with plywood. To make this easier and avoid damage to the skirting and plasterwork, can I cut through the chipboard at about 6 inches away from the walls, support with noggins where necessary, remove the remaining chipboard from the central area of the floor and then drop 8 x 4 plywood in its place.
