"Richard" randomly hit the keyboard and produced:

Oopps - just found Schedule 0 which does give db figures ... any further
thoughts are welcome though.

This is a new version of the Sound Insulation requirements which only
came into force in July last year, and it's almost certain (unless the
builders worked at breakneck speed) that the old one will apply. The
old requirements only gave a number of 'deemed to satisfy' standard
details, which if the builder worked to, would comply. The only
recourse you have is to show that the construction doesn't meet the
details, which would probably involve removing the plasterboard and
some blockwork!

Even under the new Part E, the requirement for testing of new build
housing hasn't been implimented.
