Hi everyone,
Im hoping someone may be able to offer their advice to prevent my spare bedroom floor squeeking (very loudly and everywhere)
Some background;
- The house was built in 1896 and the original floorboards have been removed at some point by the previous owners and replaced with the T&G chipboard type.
- The original floor joists in this bedroom dipped by up to 50mm in the middle of room. As such, we bolted new c16 joists to the sides of the existing and relaid the T&G floor. At this point, there was no squeeking.
- We had the room re-plastered and since then the floor sqeeks very loudly where ever you stand.
Would laying some 6mm plywood likely resolve this? And is plywood the right thing to put down?
Thanks in advance.
