Sound Insulation Testing

Choosing an accredited company gives you the peace of mind that your reports will be accepted by all local authorities, building control and national guarantee companies. We follow stringent quality control measures in all aspects of our business to ensure the highest possible standards, this ensures that you will have no problems in submitting sound insulation testing reports.

Due to the already tight time frame experienced on most sites, we do all we can to ensure a professional and speedy response to your request. However we do ask that you give us as much notice as possible when booking in a test date.

We will investigate the site and the construction elements used and advise you on the best and most effective remedial works in order to rectify the problem. We do, however, recommend you engage us at the design stage so we can hopefully eradicate any issues we may face during testing.

'Approved Document E - Resistance to the passage of sound' 2003 edition of the Building Regulations stipulates that sound insulation testing should take place in all residential developments that involve party elements (walls and/or floors). Purpose built developments will have to be tested if the 'Robust Standard Details' scheme has not been implemented. It is recommended that you speak to the local authority with regards to number of tests required, we will tell you what we think is applicable but you must seek clarification from the local authority or guarantor. The specific performance requirements for new builds and conversions are set within Approved Document E (2003 Edition) and are summarised in the following tables.

We offer an Accredited Sound Insulation Testing service as required by Approved Document E (2003) of the Building Regulations. We offer accredited services and a knowledge base second to none.
