Lease-safe flooring in Loughton Broadway (IG10) flats
Every Loughton Broadway flat install includes a written acoustic build-up spec sheet with manufacturer test data, addressed to the freeholder or managing agent. Handed over on completion day.
Why we float on Loughton Broadway flat installs
On Loughton Broadway flats over a habitable room we float every floor — never glue directly to the subfloor. Glued floors transmit impact sound as a rigid drum; floated floors over acoustic underlay attenuate it. This is a rule we don't break in IG10 apartments.

Apartments & Flats in Loughton Broadway — questions
- How much for an Loughton Broadway 2-bed flat floor?
- Typical Loughton Broadway 2-bed apartment (55–75m²) in engineered oak with acoustic build-up: £3,400–£5,600. In LVT: £2,100–£3,400. Both include acoustic spec sheet and lease-compliance paperwork.
- Can I glue-down a floor in my Loughton Broadway first-floor flat?
- No — over a habitable room below, always floated over acoustic underlay. Glue-down transmits impact sound directly through the structure and fails most Loughton Broadway lease clauses.
- How long does a Loughton Broadway flat floor fit take?
- 3–5 working days for a typical Loughton Broadway 60–80m² apartment, including acoustic underlay layer-up, board fit, perimeter detail and paperwork.
- Does the Loughton Broadway building need to be notified?
- Yes, in most Loughton Broadway leasehold buildings — 14 days' written notice to the managing agent. We provide the template letter as part of every Loughton Broadway flat quote.
- What acoustic rating do I need for a Loughton Broadway apartment floor?
- Standard Loughton Broadway lease minimum is IIC 55 or 60, with STC 55 airborne. Our default build-up tests at IIC 66/STC 58 — comfortably above both.
- Can we do this floor with a neighbour below still in residence in Loughton Broadway?
- Yes — floated installation is quiet during fit (no drilling into the deck). Neighbour-below courtesy notice is standard courtesy on Loughton Broadway apartment jobs; we handle the paperwork.
