Hi all,
I am new to this forum but hoping to get some advice after receiving some conflicting information.
We are in the process of renovating a block of 4 flats. We have not altered the number of flats and the property was used as a block of flats prior to our purchase. The only thing we have done structurally is add a new corridor on the first floor to allow access to one of the flats as previously we had to gain access to this flat via another property.
My question is, do we need to undertake sound testing or not? Our architect has submitted this on the plans which have been approved by building control but now we are nearing the end of the project and having had a more detailed review of the regulation I think we may not need to.
I would welcome any advice regarding this.
Many thanks in advance.
