Sound transmission between flats in Rosyth flatted stock
Where a property has flats stacked above one another, noise complaints usually trace back to the floor covering in the flat above rather than anything structural. Hard floors without an acoustic underlay carry footfall noise straight through a timber joist structure.
Some leases specify a minimum sound rating for any hard floor, so it's worth checking title conditions before ordering. We fit acoustic-rated underlay under both carpet and floating floors in holiday lets & airbnbs where noise to the flat below is a live concern.
Rugs over hard floors in KY11
A rug on top of LVT or engineered oak looks good and softens a room, but a rubber-backed rug left in one spot can trap moisture and discolour the finish underneath within a season, particularly in mixed-era rooms with less ventilation.
We suggest a breathable rug pad and moving furniture and rugs occasionally in a holiday lets & airbnb, which is a habit rather than a cost, and it keeps the floor underneath looking consistent.
Hall, stairs and landing: the decision that matters most
It is one continuous surface, it takes more footfall than the rest of the holiday lets & airbnb combined, and it sets the tone the second anyone walks in. Get it right and the rest of the house can be modest.
On a Rosyth staircase we look at nosing depth, winders, whether the treads are original timber, and how the gripper can be fixed. Stairs are where a rushed fit shows first.
