Hi everyone,


Have a couple of loud squeaky areas on my floor in one of the rooms - property is Victorian, with laminate flooring over the original floor boards.


There is no access to the joists from below. Anyone have any suggestions, or had someone do this kind of work before?


Thanks,


-Adrian

If its the original floor boards that are squeaking you will need to lift the laminate and screw the original floor tight to the joist then relay laminate. If it is the laminate then it needs packing out. There are rolls of thin insulation you can buy from places like B&Q (crap stuff) but it is good for that job. Both fixes require the laminate to be lifted.


Alternatively throw the laminate in the bin - screw the joists down fill the gaps with resin and hire a sander then polish,oil or varnish.

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.

      Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.

      Pity you didn't quote what you are referring to, Mal. I didn't see the previous post, and my mind is boggling 😮

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Sue · Posted

      The Cherry Tree was absolutely excellent for a while when a youngish couple ran it and brought in a really good chef. It was them who renamed it The Cherry Tree. They were really turning it around. The chef did fantastic Scotch eggs, and one of the best roasts I've ever had. If memory serves the then owner,  for some reason known only to himself, took a dislike to them and what they were doing and sacked them all. And yes we weren't expecting a top class  meal last Christmas, and we left it too late to book anywhere else, but we weren't expecting it for a hundred pounds EACH to be quite as terrible as it was. Stupid us. Not sure why you are confused by my post, Jazzer? Did I misremember? Now it's got even more confusing because my posts have been merged and your confused emoji is shown at the bottom of the second one instead of the first 🤣
