  • New screws seems to have sorted it!

    It was quite satisfying, impact-driving them in, until my back had enough.

    I think most of the problem was caused by the small screws someone had used to resecure the boards after some work had been done. Swapping those fixed the noise, but for good measure I went round and put a screw in at every nail point.

  • Good stuff. Those old screws are wood screws. You need the thread-free bit with chipboard or the threads will just cut the fibres and make the hole too big again, and it creaks.

  • @le_james I'd honestly say lovely screws,, I've definitely gone with buy as and when needed - the right size and type definitely beat a job lot trade pack
