Thanks for the replies. Made me less worried about it. Interesting about the sound transmission, as I wondered if it would make it worse or not, as it's not a massively soundproof wall. thanks again, Simon

Hello, Not a builder, so this is a general advice question. Upstairs a stud wall has been put inbetween 2 bedrooms. It's been put onto the carpet, not straight on the floor, but it is very securely attached to the floor, through the carpet. I'm now getting new carpets in both rooms, so after cutting and removing the old ones, there will be in effect be a little slice of old carpet under the stud wall. Seems very strange to me, can't think of good reason why it was done this way, but maybe it's quite common, I don't know. Is this a problem at all? Should I leave it, or can/should something be done? Don't want to have everything re-plaster again. thanks, Simon
