Browse Forums Building A New House Re: SQUEAKY UPPER STOREY FLOORS 14Mar 27, 2008 8:39 pm We have the same problem as well, but it's because our builder didn't put on the roof tiles until all the brick walls finished ==> which took 6 weeks. And our 1st floor floor board was soaked in water during the heavy rain, the join area "lipped" qite badly after that.
The floor sanding guy has to come back twice to sand it to an acceptable level. Problem is, during the sanding, he has to cut out so much that in a few rooms, the nail head were damaged/removed during the process, thus caused some squeaking floors. Our supervisor then have to do the floor nailing again in some areas to fix the noise. After the hand over, we will do the same thing as cookie suggested, get some screws and do these extra work ourselves. Just a suggestion, you might want to bring a power drill and drill a smaller hole before you start to save some effort, otherwise you might hurt yourself and need to take a whole week sick leave after all these....

Homeone is a godsend, particularly for us novices. We need all the help we can get, to deal with the ******* buiding game. The building trade should realy be ashamed of itself. They have absolutely no concept of customer service and not a clue as to a decent work ethic. In any other business sphere, these building companies would have gone under long ago. I've just let a friend know about this forum because he will be doing a major extension on his house shortly - he will need all the help he can get.
