    It’s T+G solid oak, and there are some cracks of a couple of mm opening up possibly as the pieces warp a bit.

    Is it likely to be warping, or is it just the floor shifting about?

    Will I be able to squirt some glue in there and use those straps to tighten it up again like I did when I put it down?

    Those floors are meant to float and not be glued beyond that no idea

    Deadly may be able to help as he does flooring iirc

    No, it will move as per the seasons and heating. it is a natural product and will swell and contract due to the time of year. It is all part of the beauty of wood.

    A floor laid in the winter (dry heat from radiators) will easily expand 12mm in the humid summer months. I laid an oak floor (35m/sq)last July, leaving only a 5mm gap to the skirting boards. It’s been fine (only a tiny amount of shrinkage occurring now with the heating on now).
