Hi.
Kinda on a tight budget at the moment.

Were currently redoing the back bedroom and half of the room (The back half) is creaky as hell. It seems like the 'nails' that were used have come loose. I was planning on screwing them down/removing some of the looser nails and replacing them with screws. The back half of the room has no pipes or electrics under the floorboards. The boards are T&G.
I think it would take about 20-30 screws to quiet it down a bit. I currently have quite a few of these screws. Could I get away with using these? If not, can anybody recommend some that aren't really expensive? I have seen another post on here linking a box of 500 screws for £30 lol. <3 Ty in advance.
