Our Acoustic Testing Services Include:

Building Regulations Part E Compliance

All new-build and converted dwellings (such as flats, HMOs, or houses divided into multiple units) require sound insulation testing in accordance with Part E. We handle every aspect to ensure you’re fully compliant.

Airborne Sound Testing

We measure airborne sound transmission between adjoining rooms using industry-standard speakers and microphones. This applies to walls and floors separating residential spaces and helps verify that occupants won’t be disturbed by voices, music, or TV noise.

Impact Sound Testing

For floors between dwellings, we assess impact sound performance using a calibrated tapping machine. This simulates footsteps and ensures the floor structure effectively reduces noise from above.

Detailed Reports

You’ll receive a full Acoustic Test Report, including test methodology, results, and confirmation of pass/fail status. If results fall short, we provide practical advice and retesting options to get you back on track.

When Is Acoustic Testing Required?

You need sound insulation testing if your project involves:

• New builds with multiple residential units
• Conversions (e.g., a house converted into flats)
• Buildings where separate dwellings share a wall or floor

Testing is usually conducted near the end of the construction process, when all doors, windows, and finishes are in place.
