Hi All,
Moved into a new house a few weeks back and all is great apart from the ridiculous noises you get when walking about upstairs. I have 3 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs and all rooms are the same. I can be walking in my room and hear noises coming from the next bedroom.
I’ve attached a photo of the flooring, and in the same room I have also screwed down the flooring which has slightly improved things but I’m still getting noise.
I’m starting to think that a) this floorboard material (whatever it is) isn’t suitable or b) there is something I can do to the joists to strengthen them and stop movement (if that’s a thing!?)
Any thoughts or advice would be welcomed...
