Thank you all for your advice. Sorry for the late reply, been away over Easter. Sure but they have cutouts for their spotlights which I guess have gaps in them. I went around with some silicon as an emergency fix and filled the gap between the floorboards and the pipes for the radiator. That...

Yes for sure. I was planning to do this for noise and thermal insulation as well (they like to play loud music until 5am on Monday nights as well). But I figured rockwool is a bit breathable and will allow the smell through? So I was thinking maybe a underlay as well on top? We dont have a...
