Hi all,
An update on this. Someone from the builders finally came to take up the carpet and inspect this last month (yes, they were that slow) and they have identified the problem.
The floor chipboard panels fitted were too large - insufficient gap was left around them without space to expand. They cause the creak as they rub against the wall and adjacent flooring as they flex.
The builders then said that this is too big a job for them to fix! Surely they can't get away with that...?
I am fighting it, but I would be interested in a third opinion from this board.
How would one go about fixing "too big floor panels"? Can they be trimmed easily?
What rights do I have to demand that they do something about it?
In other news, due to the large holes left around my kitchen pipework, my kitchen got infested with rats! :-O
