We are currently planning a new kitchen and was looking for some advice. As part of the revamp we will be re boarding and skimming the ceiling as the current one has got t&g on it which covers the old artex and holes from spots in it.
Above the kitchen is a bedroom, will we be required under part E to put sound insulation into the ceiling/floor between kitchen and bedroom. I have had a look through the regs and from what a can see they only apply to a material change of use (which this isn't) and new builds.
There has never been a problem with sound coming up to the bedroom so if we can avoid doing this then i would rather we did.
I have a couple of other questions regarding the regs and kitchens but i will put these in a separate post
thanks in advance
