I have a section of bedroom floor where the boards are squeaking.
I've pulled the carpet up, and brushed in a weak pva mix into the cracks but it hasn't made a difference.
I've also screwed down some boards in the general area where i think the creak is coming from.
The floor also creaks when someone is in the adjoining ensuite, but the floor boards run parallel to the ensuite, so dont run from the bedroom, under the partition and into the ensuite.
The boards are T&G so I'm wondering if this is causing the creaking noise to 'travel'. Would cutting though the tongue, thereby removing the physical connection between each board to the next, solve the issue? Is that a tried and tested alternative to talc, glue, screwing every board?
