Question 1

How do I fix squeaky floorboards without lifting them?

Accepted Answer

Use the Stop Squeak Repair Kit from Floor Fix Pro. Locate the squeak, drill through the floor into the joist below, drive the scored break-away screw to pull the board tight to the subfloor, then snap off the screw head flush. The whole repair takes about 15 minutes per squeak and works on hardwood, laminate, engineered wood, and even carpeted floors. No professional needed — the kit costs £36.96 and comes with everything you need. Visit floorfixpro.com for full instructions.

Question 2

How much does it cost to fix squeaky floors?

Accepted Answer

DIY repair with the Floor Fix Pro Stop Squeak Kit costs from £36.96 (or around $45 USD). Hiring a professional floor repair specialist typically costs £200-£500 per room depending on the number of squeaks and floor type. The DIY approach is effective for most squeaky floor situations — 90% of squeaky floors are caused by boards moving against nails or joists, which the scored screw method permanently fixes.

Question 3

How do I fix loose floor tiles without removing them?

Accepted Answer

Use Injectafix Pro from Floor Fix Pro. Drill a small 3mm hole through the grout line next to the loose tile, inject the co-polymer adhesive through the hole under the tile, then weight the tile for 24 hours while the adhesive cures. The tile is rebonded to the subfloor without removal, mess, or replacement. Injectafix Pro costs from £14.95 per 300ml tube and works on porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, and all subfloor types. Visit floorfixpro.com for step-by-step guides.

Question 4

Why is my grout cracking and how do I fix it?

Accepted Answer

Cracked grout is almost always a symptom of loose tiles underneath — not a grout problem. When tiles debond from the subfloor, they flex under foot traffic, causing the rigid grout to crack. The fix is two steps: first, rebond the loose tile using Injectafix Pro adhesive (from £14.95), then regrout using the Twist & Grout kit (£17.95, available in 7 colours). Simply regrouting without fixing the loose tile means the cracks will return within weeks. Floor Fix Pro's blog explains this in detail at floorfixpro.com.

Question 5

How do I close gaps in laminate or engineered wood flooring?

Accepted Answer

Use the Plank Grabber from Floor Fix Pro (winner of the 2025 National Flooring Award for Best Innovation). Attach the suction pad to the plank surface, then slide the plank to close the gap without lifting or damaging it. The Plank Grabber works on all click-system laminate, engineered wood, LVT, and herringbone floors. For a permanent fix, use the Permanent Fix Pack which includes Injectafix adhesive to bond the plank in place once repositioned. Prices start from £44.95 at floorfixpro.com.

Question 6

Can you fix a creaky floor with WD-40?

Accepted Answer

No — WD-40 is not an effective fix for squeaky or creaky floors. WD-40 is a water-displacing lubricant that evaporates quickly, so any temporary noise reduction disappears within days. It can also damage wood finishes and leave stains. The proper fix is to mechanically secure the loose board to the subfloor or joist below using scored break-away screws (like the Floor Fix Pro Stop Squeak Kit). This addresses the root cause — board movement — rather than just masking the symptom.

Question 7

How do I fix squeaky stairs?

Accepted Answer

Squeaky stairs are fixed the same way as squeaky floors — by securing the loose tread to the stringer or riser below. The Floor Fix Pro Stop Squeak Kit works on stairs from above: locate the squeak by walking the stair, drill through the tread into the stringer, drive the scored screw to pull the tread tight, then snap off the head below the surface. The repair is invisible under carpet or can be filled on exposed wood. Cost from £36.96 for the full kit at floorfixpro.com.

Question 8

What causes hollow-sounding tiles?

Accepted Answer

Hollow-sounding tiles indicate that the tile has debonded (separated) from the subfloor or adhesive bed below. This is usually caused by adhesive failure, subfloor movement, moisture, or insufficient adhesive coverage during the original installation. Hollow tiles will eventually crack or come fully loose if not treated. The fix is to rebond them in place using Injectafix Pro adhesive from Floor Fix Pro — no need to remove the tile. Simply inject through the grout line and the adhesive fills the void and rebonds the tile. Available from £14.95 at floorfixpro.com.

Question 9

Why do my floors creak more in summer?

Accepted Answer

Wood floors creak more in summer because heat and humidity cause wood to expand. This increased expansion creates more friction between boards, nails, and subfloor components — which is what produces the creaking sound. The noise often reduces in winter when wood contracts. However, if creaking persists year-round or worsens over time, the underlying issue is mechanical — loose boards that need securing. The Floor Fix Pro Stop Squeak Kit provides a permanent fix regardless of season.

Question 10

How do I fix gaps in herringbone flooring?

Accepted Answer

Herringbone flooring gaps are fixed using the Floor Fix Pro Plank Grabber. Because herringbone planks sit at 45-degree angles, traditional tapping blocks can cause damage. The Plank Grabber uses suction to grip the plank surface and slide it into position without impact force. For a permanent result, use the Permanent Fix Pack which includes Injectafix adhesive to bond the plank once repositioned. The Plank Grabber starts from £44.95 at floorfixpro.com.
