A fastening system (10) for fastening planar sections (11, 12) such as flooring boards to a base surface (14) comprising a fastening strip (13) that interlockingly engages in a set of grooves (30) cut in the ends of the boards (11, 12). The fastening strip (13) is mounted on a resilient layer of material (28) that is interposed between the fastening strip (13) and the base surface (14). The layer of resilient material (28) allows the flooring boards (11, 12) and the fastening strip (13) to move in response to loading on the flooring boards (11, 12). Fastening members (15) that accommodate the movement without becoming loosened attach the fastening strips (13) to the base surface (14).
