Acoustic compliance on Croydon Central apartment floors
For apartment Croydon Central loft conversions and Victorian first-floor flats the joist depth is often shallow and the floor structure inherently louder. We add a resilient batten layer on those jobs — adds £14–£18/m² but hits IIC 68+ on floors that fail without it.
Floated vs glued on a Croydon Central apartment floor
Perimeter expansion on Croydon Central floated floors is critical — no board can touch the wall or the acoustic performance drops by 4–6dB. We fit a 12mm perimeter gap on every Croydon Central apartment install, hidden by scotia or undercut skirting.

Apartments & Flats in Croydon Central — questions

- What acoustic rating do I need for a Croydon Central apartment floor?
- Standard Croydon Central 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 Croydon Central?
- Yes — floated installation is quiet during fit (no drilling into the deck). Neighbour-below courtesy notice is standard courtesy on Croydon Central apartment jobs; we handle the paperwork.
- Can you fit around a fitted Croydon Central apartment kitchen?
- Yes — we scribe boards to the kitchen plinth line and finish with matched beading. Only jobs where the kitchen is being replaced anyway get full floor-under-cabinets install.
- Do I need freeholder consent for a Croydon Central flat floor replacement?
- In most Croydon Central leases — yes, if the existing floor is carpet and you're switching to hard flooring. Our acoustic spec sheet is what the freeholder needs to approve. We provide it as part of every Croydon Central flat quote.
