Last month, Chancellor George Osborne unveiled ‘Right to Build’ which will give those people whom aspire to build their own property greater powers in terms of obtaining plots of land from their local authority, bolstered by a £150m loan scheme. It is hoped that it will encourage wannabe homeowners to follow the lead of countries like Germany and the Netherlands where there are thousands of self-build properties built every year

Whilst we love getting the opportunity to supply our vast array of acoustic flooring products to projects up and down the country, it’s always particularly special to work on something locally. We were therefore delighted when given confirmation that JCW had been selected to fit its JCW 80T and JCW 55T Acoustic Battens at The Church of All Souls, a redundant Anglican church in Bolton currently being renovated and transformed

It would appear so which spells great news for the sector, the overall economy and the housing market in particular. We are currently installing just over 1000m2 of acoustic flooring at a brand new property development in the heart of Manchester. Taking place at Vesta Street, situated in the highly popular Ancoats area, JCW has been appointed to fit our JCW 80T Battens by North-West based joinery contractors Nationwide Joinery

Our installers recently headed down to the city of London to install our JCW Level Pod acoustic cradle system at a project situated on Regent Street. Located in the West End of the capital and world-renowned for its shopping, the work was conducted at Walmar House, 288/300 Regent Street and 13/14 Great Castle Street, which collectively comprise a 59,240 sq. ft. consented refurbishment. The proposed scheme contains 37,760 sq. ft.

Kensington and Park Terrace is costing £13 million and involves the construction of 347 new beds in the city. Our team ventured up to the North East last month where
