Hi all,
Having moved into a new, to us, detached house we have discovered that some of the floor in the kitchen is quite "bouncy"! Now, we're getting a new kitchen fitted and this seems the perfect time to fix 'the problem'. The builder talked about 'soldiers' to lift the joists and stop the bounce but having looked below the floor panels, it's bitumen and probably useless for his idea! So, anyone else come across this and if so, what was the fix? One worry is that the gas pipe is in a similar area to the bouncy part and a worry is that they've cut into the joist to make it fit!!
Thanks for any replies.
Harris
