New house 3 years old has all downstairs with oak boards - looks great but creaks and squeeks. House is only 4 years old with kitchen units et all on the boards. Any obvious quick fixes to try before considering more drastic action

Try using talc power in the joint first, I understand if you use your partner expensive talc is very painful ;)

How are boards installed? Nailed (seceretly) on joists or fully glued down or floating?
Do all the boards squeek everywhere or only at/near the walls?
If I read correctly it's in the kitchen. Had a leak or large spill lately? (=boards expanding = butting up to wall, fixed items on floor or doorways = squeeking noises).
