Delivering compliant, acoustic performance through consultancy and sound insulation testing.
Sound insulation testing is required under Building Regulations Part E to demonstrate that separating walls and floors provide adequate resistance to sound transmission between adjoining dwellings.

From early-stage acoustic advice through to on-site testing and certification, our experienced consultants help developers, architects and contractors achieve compliance efficiently and reduce project risk.
