Comments

The OP was advised to go down the engineered wood route rather than real wood before even buying it. Sounds like wrong product, laid in a hurry and now causing issues.
Less haste, OP, less haste!!Trying to be a man is a waste of a woman0 -
The wood will expand until it matches the humidity of the room.0

take off the last planks laid, let the floor expand for a month then refit/resize the last planks leaving the 10mm expansion gap as designed0
