We're just about to have carpets replaced, so I thought I'd take the
opportunity to see if I can stop the few patches of creaking
floorboards upstairs. Maybe it will become obvious that I need to
hammer in a few more nails in places. But assuming not, and if all
*looks* OK, is there some stuff I can spray or paint on that will help
please?


Better to use screws than nails if you've already got creaks... (and don't
forget to check for cables /pipes underneath first of course!)

Indeed, the first time I did this I later discovered I'd drilled a pilot
hole 1mm away from a gas pipe.
