@chrisbmx116 yeah ours were the same, we had quite a lot of rotten ones in the kitchen from years of water being spilt and then there was evidence of boring beetles or something, so I ripped the whole lot out and relayed them. It was however the hardest thing I did in the flat as I had to recut and plane all the other floorboards.
You might be better off pinning them all down with screws (watch for pipes / wires etc) to stop the creaking, ply lining all the rooms with 8mm ply and getting someone to relay engineered flooring or something similar. In my opinion the results would be better and would make the floor feel a lot more solid.
Cheers for the replies all @CYOA @rhowe @andos !
The floorboards are shit, look great at a glance but they are ropey as hell. As are the skirting boards. Kinda feel my flat needs some proper sorting after decades of bodge jobs (most before I moved in although I did cut a cat flap with a bread knife....).
