@Ramsaye - ha, brilliant, why didn't I think of that?
Will do some more research and steel myself for the conversation with 'her upstairs'. Does anyone have a ballpark suggestion for a reasonable cost (per square metre?), materials and work since I don't think I'll be taking this on myself (I know, I know, it's the DIY thread...). I've seen figures ranging around a median of £1500 per average room per installation (i.e. floor soundproofing OR ceiling soundproofing, double it for both)
Wow, brilliant response as always from the lufgus hivemind. Thanks, all.
@diable house was built 1902 and, judging by the lease for the flat it was converted in the 70s.
@rive_gauche - great link, thanks
