Question: I have a small area of floor boards on my landing and into a bedroom where the boards are creaking when I walk on them

creaking floors drive me & my customers mad!

1. Is this traditional floor boards?
2. Chipboard flooring

if old timber consider checking whats under the area thats creaking- for example
heating pipes can cause the floor/joists to twist etc

Replacing nails with screws is great - but check what underneath!!!!!
it could have live cables, or heating or water pipes.
sometimes additional support timbers are needed (noggins)

take your time & ensure you know whats under the floor before doing anything

The creaking will be from the wood rubbing against the old nails as you walk on the boards. Remove the nails and replace them with screws. Hope this helps. Kind regards. Darren

I agree, always lift the boards to check for pipes and cable before removing the nails and replacing with screws.
