Barratt and Redrow are amongst the cowboys. Go to a decent builder. You

rockwool bats under, jammed between the joists, put the boards back with
screws.

Love to know of a cheapie house builder who uses floorboards...

Do you mean they only have the joists? People have to step from joist to
joist upstairs? My oh my! What sort of house does he have?
