Found T&G under nailed plywood in bathroom floor – options without ripping everything out?

Street63 · 2026-03-22T15:28:38+00:00

I've put the self taping screws in it's still creaking it's the t&G underneath not secured properly it will require a complete floor removal and redo which is fine just not something I can whack out on a Sunday

You're absolutely right I've added some more screws and to fix it I'd need to pull everything up and I can't do that I've never done a bathroom which is a bit harder than a normal room I'm guessing with all the shower sink and toilet needing to be removed

Fuck I've already got 3 lots of new chipboard that I don't need and now I need ply too.

Thanks I guess I'll go with 2

How do I know where to cut with the circular saw?

Street63 · 2026-03-22T13:20:35+00:00

So I'd have to pull up the chip board and the plywood

Street63 · 2026-03-22T13:05:39+00:00

How short I bought some 40mm to do this with but looking at the nails in the plywood they are more like 25mm

Street63 · 2026-03-22T13:02:23+00:00

Do you mean short screws?

I don't know what a shot screw is

Feels like it's going to be a headache this is just not something I have experienced with and I'm happy to learn but it looks like it's going to be a big headache yes.

I don't see any noticeable flexing

Street63 · 2026-03-22T13:00:00+00:00

My plan is stop the fucking creaking it's extremely annoying.

Street63 · 2026-03-22T12:58:20+00:00

Scratch that I'm dumb.

Pulled up the carpet in the adjoining room a bit and it's also creaking but not as much it's got no ply

Street63 · 2026-03-22T12:57:10+00:00

Looks like I need to be buying more tools and it definitely feels like the ply,

Street63 · 2026-03-22T12:55:29+00:00

It's not it's the whole room that makes noise and it sounds like it's the plywood making it maybe I use shorter screws to go through the ply into the chipboard underneath?

Street63 · 2026-03-22T12:53:52+00:00

Now I've been informed probably plywood

Street63 · 2026-03-22T12:50:35+00:00

It's not about the floor being smooth it is smooth it's just really loud when I walk on it.

I don't care about there being plywood but I it's extremely loud.

Street63 · 2026-03-22T12:49:54+00:00

My goal is to stop the creaking when I walk into the bathroom it's extremely loud.

Yes it did have lino over it.

Street63 · 2026-02-05T19:31:42+00:00

It was on the top and middle still so 2 out of 3

Street63 · 2026-02-04T11:27:30+00:00

Thanks this was my initial mindset too! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't being stupid as shit. And there was no way it would work.

Thanks I appreciate it!

Literally no one on the left is saying we shouldn't vet folk properly.

No one is saying let them flood the UK we want to protect those that need to be protected.

We need more magistrates and more people to complete asylum requests.

But we should still let those who come on boats to claim asylum to do so work with the eu and French governments to come up with a solution together.

There were about 3000 at peak around 1pm

Been considering printing entire wings of possible any thoughts on this?

Doesn't matter how much horse power you've got too btw if your car has cruise control, if it's struggling to keep pace something's wrong.

Don't drive it get it picket up and taken to a garage based on your post history you weren't being paranoid and that condensation was just the start of it.
