Hello,
I have recently joined and have a query over squeaky floors and would like some advice if possible...
We have recently bought a lovely brand new house and are generally delighted with it, both the quality of the build, finish and our overall experience with the developer.....however, we have got some squeaky floors upstairs and it's a little irritating. It's not over the whole room, just localised and in the centre of some rooms.
I've been told that metal web joists were used and these are deemed to be the best but when I press the ceiling downstairs I can see it moving, albeit only slightly. I've read a bit about the allowable deflection and it seems that this could be quite a lot as some of the rooms are 5.5m wide.
Any help/advice much appreciated.
Thanks
