What happens if Robust Details Ltd perform a spot-check sound test on one of my separating walls or floors and it fails to meet the Part E standards?
We would notify the building control body and they would then take reasonable steps to ensure compliance with Part E. This could involve remedial work and pre-completion sound testing. If this was a relatively isolated failure, local action may be sufficient. However, in the unlikely event that Robust Details Ltd discovered that a specific robust detail was consistently performing badly, we would take corrective action which could include enhancing the design or withdrawing it altogether.
