Creaking T&G chipboard floors

Roboman · 9 Aug 2004

Can't believe that no one has come across this before. The whole upstairs creaks like mad, the house was built in the early 70s. The joints are not glued and I've tried screwing the boards down. I don't want to go to the hassle, or cost, of ripping up all the floors and relaying.

Can anyone suggest a cheaper and easier way of curing the problem?
