Lease-safe flooring in Moulsham (CM2) flats
Every Moulsham 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 Moulsham flat installs
On Moulsham 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 CM2 apartments.

Apartments & Flats in Moulsham — questions
- How much for an Moulsham 2-bed flat floor?
- Typical Moulsham 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 Moulsham 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 Moulsham lease clauses.
- How long does a Moulsham flat floor fit take?
- 3–5 working days for a typical Moulsham 60–80m² apartment, including acoustic underlay layer-up, board fit, perimeter detail and paperwork.
- Does the Moulsham building need to be notified?
- Yes, in most Moulsham leasehold buildings — 14 days' written notice to the managing agent. We provide the template letter as part of every Moulsham flat quote.
- What acoustic rating do I need for a Moulsham apartment floor?
- Standard Moulsham 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 Moulsham?
- Yes — floated installation is quiet during fit (no drilling into the deck). Neighbour-below courtesy notice is standard courtesy on Moulsham apartment jobs; we handle the paperwork.
