Steel framed house

[bendean1810]

After owning this house in Hothfield since '92 and in addition to my last post, the downfall seems to be if a semi and the neighbours lay this laminated floor through out the house then it can make noise transmission an issue, especially if no insulation is used beneath the flooring, or between the floor and skirting. It can be worse when used upstairs and small kids are present. If the floor is not laid correctly expect an arguement with the neighbour. (My neighbour layed the flooring incorrectly).
Apart from that there have been no further issues with the house and with all the insulation and carpet it is very cosy. There were no problems with the local mortgage providers as the properties are well known in the area, as are the Airy houses.

Metalguru,

Chances are slim I know as this is an ancient thread, but you don't have any more information on the houses in hothfield do you?

As I'm currently in the process of buying one.

Whatever Metalguru was on about sounds a bit confusing. The thread was about Trusteel houses but MG first mentioned nusteel houses and then finished with Airey houses - which are not steel framed and are not fine. They are actually designated defective.

My advice is start a new thread and ask about your specific house type?

Jeds,

The houses in hothfield are in fact steel so I'm guessing they are nusteel.

I was more interested if he specifically knew how they were constructed.

I've attached a photo from the loft.

Cheers,

Ben
