    I have several quotes for supply & fit two aluminium glass windows to a bathroom. I however I can't seem to move forward as I do not have an external lintel for the large window.

    Thank you for your reply. The company that supply and fit the aluminium windows send a surveryor to do the measurements for the new window, charging £300, but can't say if I have a lintel or not. As you say I will require an external lintel I guess I will need to ask the company what type...

    Soundproofing substandard

    I had a wall between my flat and flat upstairs soundproofed. They used acoustic wool and acoustic plasterboard. They were to build a frame but when the wall came down there was already one there, they did not need access to the adjoining flat which then did not get acoustic plasterboard. I...

    Sound proofing hall

    Thanks for your reply. The first one is the most expensive and I will loose about 2 inches from the hall. I went back to him and he reinstated that. The second one I will not loose any width. The noise is about privacy. Just to make it that much harder to hear conversations and to make...

    Sound proofing hall

    Thanks for your reply. The hall is small and so would prefer not to loose width. The first quote is the one from a sound proofing company and is slightly more expensive because as you say of the frame and door reduction. The noise is general foot traffic and lack of privacy as the hall has a...
