You hear this when your central heating turns on then contracts when it goes off. That creaking and cracking where it’s moving through the joists. If steel is even 1 mm every 10 metres with ambient temperatures the expansion must be phenomenal

Thank goodness we are past the worse of it. It wasn't quite as hot as me in my early twenties, but it was up there.
