I live in a flat, converted from a large house in 1960 or so, with no

I have agreed with my upstairs neighbour that we will investigate the
possibility of sound deadening underlay.

Does anybody have any experience of whether or not this stuff works and
how effective it is?

There's loads of them around in thicknesses of 3 mm to 18 mm and they all
claim to be effective but are they really?

Main issue is impact noise although I can hear some speech through the
floor as well.

Thanks.

This is as bad as it can get, but don't bet on it

Read Part E of the Building Regulations Approved Documents:

- lots of well-proven practical advice on soundproofing.


golly. Good thing my house was built before that lot!
Id have had to have built a new celing over my exposed beam ones!

Anyway, yes, thumbs up to that. Looks lie adding extra plasterboarrd is
more useful than anything.
