We had an extension built about 15 years ago. In the upstairs the builder used "blockboard/chipboard" floorboards. It creaked all over from day one!
He advised us that it would settle down and get better once we had carpeted it. It didn't, but as it is only used as a spare room we lived with it.
Now we want to replace the carpet. Whilst the carpet is up I would like to stop it creaking.
Any suggestions? I do not really want to lift it all as that would also mean removing the skirting and then it is becoming too big a job.
