The soundstop products look good. Look at the floor soundproofing underlay boards that reduce impact noise. In your case I'd guess the problem is mainly impact noise so something like that with heavy underlay, and then carpet would be quite a bit better than what you have now.

I used satin finish but it's not that reflective. Goes on very thin i.e. You don't need much of it to be protective as it seems to soak into the wood rather than sit on top. I did some floors at work with yacht varnish and that really is like a layer sitting on top of the wood and they look pretty bad in comparison to the diamond glaze ones.

You had the cartoon (metal/rock pub, not bad actually) round the front of the block. And then you had sinatras. Their back door was directly opposite ours, which (for us)was actually good vfm for fri/sat evening entertainment :) I actually live in (the borough of)Croydon now fwiw, but I just try not to go anywhere near the place if I can help it. Ikea is near enough.

The second rung - how did you manage it?
ultraburner replied to cantthinkofaname's topic in The Lounge
A quick look on rightmove says that one bed flats are worth 3-400k in se22. You can easily get a house for that if you look further out. Ours cost 260k last year and there are quite a few on around here for not much more than that. -

Good luck played a big part for us too. First flat was Nunhead side of Peckham rye, we bought it just after the price crash in 09. It was a very tired repo so we got it pretty cheap. Did it up over the next few years. Sold up last year and bought a 3 bed house in Kenley near Purley. It's another do-er upper, but has cost us about the same as a studio flat in E.D. -
Is anything good still maufactured in this country?

SSL mixing desks. Quite a bit of hi-end pro audio in general. Orange Cycles, the expensive models are hand-welded in Halifax. -
Zwiec by a mile. Lovely stuff.

Doorway is best. (I'm an engineer and I'm civil)
