i've been looking into different fabrics for replacement and acoustic transparent fabric seems to be quite expensive.
does it really make that much of a difference if i use any other fabric? if so, anyone recommend a place in or near London where to get it for a good price?

The two things you should look for are not (in my opinion) simply acoustic transparency and price - they are flame resistance and durability.
C'mon - if you're tlaking about buying an existing facility (especially if you're buying real estate), spending a few hundred (or a few thousand) pounds to make the place look nice shouldn't be a big deal. We'd all hate it if you stuck up some material that burns easily - especially if your new facility burned down.... And since I've got fabric coverings on a lot of the walls in my place, I want it to stand up to people (an amps and racks and instruments) rubbing up against it, banging into it, etc.
I used Guilford fabric in my place - I've spend a couple of thousand dollars on it so far, but to me it's worth it.
