I know it's not bikey or remotely interesting, but I didn't find any useful info on a quick google search so thought I'd ask here (I'm crap at DIY stuff). In short, the parquet flooring in my living room is lifting up in one area. Flooring was in the house when I moved in 10 years ago, and it's always been a bit uneven because the floor itself is. Now some strips are lifting by a couple of mm, creating mini kerbs, and 'giving' and squeaking when you stand on them. I pulled a strip up the other day (each strip is about 7-8 cm long, 2cm wide, arranged in blocks of 5 strips) just to see what's afoot. Anyone know what the likely cause is and what to do about it? I'm hoping I can just buy some special glue and re-stick the strips. Or do I have some chronic damp problem that's gonna be a costly nightmare to fix?! Can anyone out there shed some light? Ta.
I seem to remember years ago warming up the gunk underneath with a hairdryer years ago, to soften it up and rebed the blocks?
Ok, maybe I'll try that - sounds easy enough. Thanks for this, stever.
Anyone else?
