waynetheplumber,

Thank you also for taking the time to consider and comment upon my predicament. The pump has to be somewhere but I would never have though about looking in the upstairs room.

Again thanks for your help.

Best wishes

The central heating in my small two-up two-down terraced house is not working properly. A back boiler is installed in the fireplace with a radiant heater in front. My question to the forum is about the location of the pump. Would it be normal practice to fit the pump in the chimney recess immediatel...

Ann, Stud partition will be fine. You will need to attend to three things. Panel resonance, surface mass and damping of the void between the two plaster board skins. The damping is easy. You fill the void with rock wool batts (don't use fibreglass insulation). With regards to panel resonance and sur...

Daleyboy, Thanks for raising this point. I've tried to find the information you're seeking by following the links and it's not immediately obvious. All I can say is that it's there and I would like to help further sadly I'm not allowed to post the link that would take you direct to the pricing page....

Elizabeth, Neighbours, who would have them? Huh! You can't live with them but you'd certainly be happy to live without them. Plainly the first step is to speak to your neighbours and share your pain and hope that they will do something about it. In a sense you've done this already and your cry for h...

Lesleyannbarclay,

I suggest that your system needs to be rebalanced. This is an easy task to undertake though involves a bit of running round.

There is an excellent description of how to do this in the project section of this forum.

Good luck

Jim, When was the last time this radiator work? You said no air came out but did any water come out? Are both valves on the radiator open? You should be able to operate one by hand the other will be a lock shield value and you'll need to loosen the shield and then operate the valve. Remember the old...

bmwnunkie, Sorry to hear that you are suffering so much grief. I know from experience how cold caravans can be. At least two possibilities suggest themselves and I apologise if you have already considered these. 1. Could there be a valve(s) that isolate the upstairs 15mm circuit from the downstairs ...

Skyman, Great idea to provide a sketch of the problem. Most helpful. (And hats off to the moderator for publishing the url.) A sketch is worth a thousand words. I think you're correct when you write that the sound is getting into the room through the single glazing. It's also worth checking there is...

Hi S, As you have found out the acoustical performance of ordinary stud walls leaves much to be desired. There is no cheap way of improving the performance of such structures. The noise transmission through the wall could be reduced by increasing the surface mass of the wall and introducing damping....

The good news is that you can reduce the amount of noise that comes through a party wall in the way that you outline. However whoever does the job must first establish that it's coming through the wall and not by way of flanking routes such as open windows or cracks or holes in the wall above the ce...
