Hi Jimmy and Flat chatters
The owner of the Lot upstairs has not appealed to date and the appeal period of 3 weeks has passed. They have however sent me an email saying that they don’t believe that their floor is at fault and that they will not be doing anything to rectify the problem. They kindly asked me to suggest a reasonable way to address the “root problem”.
The adjudicators orders were pretty clear in that they said by-law 14 was clearly breached and that the underlay used was insufficient to prevent the transmission of noise from the floor space. The adjudicator as expected did not specify carpeted flooring or otherwise
Would it be unreasonable of me to suggest a solution such as “Please call Precision Flooring and ask for a quote on the 15mm Regupol Underlay” or would I likely be painting myself into a corner here. I am tempted to ask for quality carpet and underlay, but fear I may be pushing my luck here
Pls advise
