Hi there


I'm looking at moving to Nunhead, alongside the train station, but I wanted to know how people who live nearby feel about the noise. Seems like passenger trains aren't too much bother (even the announcements) but what about freight trains? This list worries me: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/advanced/NHD/2014/03/20/0321?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt


A whole list of freight trains every hour ...


Any advice gratefully-received!


Thanks

I lived directly next to railway tracks for 5 years


I definitely noticed the noise initially, and with kids on the way, was worried about that aspect as well


But the noise melted into the background for me, and the kids never noticed


On some summer's days, in the garden, a passing train could be a pain


But overall I was fine with it and it had no hand in my decision to move


But as the plane thread shows, your mileage may vary

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
