Thanks John We're in Norwich and the building isn't on an industrial park..its in the country but on the outside of the city..sounds like the people in the office wont get much peace with the noise then..have to re-think Thanks

thas everyone for your replies...Im asking on behalf of a family member. The building which he owns is semi rurual but if he decides to pursue this trade ( just looking inot it at the mo) he would like to use this building but there is a property next to his with two offices which have their windows open all day towards where th forge would be located... the office and the forge building are 20 yards apart...its the clanking on metal with a hammer which could be a disturbance :)

Hi I'm new here... Im here in the UK and I've a few questions about blacksmith/farriers forge. Does the forge have to comply with building regs and health and safety? The noise from a forge which is used for horseshoes, is the noise loud,, and how far away from neighbours in your opinion would it be a disturbance? Do you work with windows open? In the Uk what fuel would you use? Thanks in advance!
