Should new wood floors creak? Bit of an odd question I know, but we've just had a new raised floor built in our bathroom (raised on top of the old timbers) and it's a bit creaky in places. It's constructed of rafters with chipboard on top; the builder has levelled the floor using small blocks of wood under the rafters. In some places a sharp crack can be heard as you walk across the floor.
Having lino fitted in a few weeks so want to get it sorted if need be before that goes down. Any help or advice gratefully received as usual
