I did that - the squeaky boards were driving me nuts - so I pulled back the carpet grabbed some nails and sent one through a power cable - all electric off for the day until a sparky came to fix it - lesson learned.:rotfl:Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives.:j0

Haha, i would want the complete opposite :Pbut it's nice to know noone can creep upstairs at night and surprise me in bed.
It probably is just central heating, we had central heating installed last year and the floorboards were making noises... a hammer and some nails sorted them out.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

One or two of my stairs to my new loft conversion squeak.
Worse noises are crunching, or a slightly unpleasant feeling of giving way

Ah well, in that case you need to start worrying when the floorboards start roaring, not squeaking

I've got chipboard floors upstairs. They really know how to squeak.0
