  • Joist replacement

    Hi. I live in 1st floor 1930s maisonette. My loving room and corridor leading to it seem to have springy floor. Whenever i walk everything is shaking. Other rooms and kitchen seem to be much more solid. Living room is roughly 4m x5m. How can this be fixed? Do i need joist replacement?
