I wonder if someone can help me, it would be much appreciated.
When walking upstairs my floorboards in a couple of rooms (not all) are very noisy, I peeled back my carpet and added some screws close to the existing nails (Spax 5.5 x 60) but it doesn't appear to have made any difference.
I'm not sure if this is relevant but the noise is at it's worse the first time I walk on them in the morning. It's also not a squeaking noise and more of a crack or pop, almost like the floorboards clicking into position. Generally it won't then do it much for the remainder of the day.
Any help is appreciated, I can take up the carpet but do have hardwood skirting fitted and would be reluctant to remove those.
