Hi all,

I purchased a new build property from David Wilson Homes, a subsidiary or Barratts in London last year.

the noise problems between floors in my house is horrific. I have noticed when I have had my carpets pulled up due to creaking problems that the floors are hollow so essentially it’s some floor boards and wooden joists between each floor and that’s it.

I have complained to barratts, DWH and spoken with the people who fitted the boards who have said that it conforms to building regs. I have looked this up and it should not be above 40db. I can’t believe that this actually confirms to the holding regs. Anyone had experience of fighting this? I assume I need to get a survey done?
