How to fix it, step by step
- Start with the Squeaky Floor Test Kit. It contains 30ml each of Click Lube and Groove Gasket. Apply one to one squeaky area and the other to another, wait 24 hours and see which one stops the noise. Then buy the full-size bottle of the winner.
- If the floor still creaks, use Injectafix Pro. Inject it through a 2mm hole to reduce vertical movement. It stays flexible, so it moves with a floating floor.
- If it still creaks, fix the subfloor with the Stop Squeak Repair Kit. Its scored screws pull plywood or chipboard down onto the joists without fixing the floating floor itself. Fill the small holes afterwards.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my click floor has a V-groove?
Look at the joints between the boards. If the edges are bevelled so there is a small V-shaped channel along each joint, your floor is grooved. If the boards meet flush with a square edge, it has no groove and Click Lube and Groove Gasket can't get into the joint.
Do I need to lift the floor?
No. Every step is done from the top of the floor without lifting any boards.
