If floorboards are good no squeaks or movement do you still need to screw them down if they only have nails in them ? thanks

Hi Groucho - Be very careful of pipes and cables lurking under the floorboards, screwing into already fitted floorboards without be able to see what's under them is a recipe for disaster!
