Update:
taken 50% of the original floorboards up and found the water/gas/electric job done by the previous renovation guys
The source of the terrible creaking I eventually found to be two sources:
1 - old rusted nails (more like 'spikes' really) between the joists and the boards
2 - way way...
Looks like they put the 4mm board all over the original/replaced boards
that lighter one must be chipboard
not sure if what im doing is all worth it, but I'm learning
Hi all,
Bought this flat recently (built in 1860s, by the seaside) - only downside is the floorboards creak in places and its uneven
Thought I'd have a look under the carpet since I will be replacing it anyway
im not experienced but looks like wood is pretty new??
what looks like crap...
