Hi

Need to sort out some creaking chipboard floors before having new carpets
laid. I think the creak is from the joint (tongue and groove) between two
boards. I am thinking about cutting the joint and just filling it with
PVA wood glue. Or, I may cut a patch out and refit adding some noggins
for support.

To do the cutting (either just the tongue/groove joint or take a section
out) I am thinking of buying a Bosch PMF-180 multi-tool. Don't want to
cut a hole and use a jigsaw and I am unsure of elec cables / CH pipes
etc.

Any thoughts?


I usually fix creaking by putting a few more fixing screws in. Should have
done so before our lounge diner carpet was laid. Keeps sounding like I am
f**ting as I walk through the double doors between the two rooms.

I already have put about a hundred chipboard screws in the floor, it's the
actual T&G joint that's causing the creak. Thinking if I break the joint
then glue it back up, should cure it.
