Sound Insulation Testing/Acoustic Consultancy
Studio Acoustics provide a high quality and informative sound insulation testing service, enabling clients to understand the requirements of Approved Document E (ADE) of the building regulations and sound insulation testing. Appreciation of ADE at the design stage of a project is key to ensuring building developments meet the requirements of the building regulations for sound insulation and the Studio Acoustics team work with construction companies and developers to ensure these requirements are met. Studio Acoustics also have a strong track record of working with construction teams, who unaware of the requirements of ADE require consultancy for remedial works in the event of a failed test. Since 2003 sound insulation testing has been required for newly built dwellings and dwellings formed by a material change of use where there is a separating floor or wall. Detached properties or properties constructed to licensed Robust Details specifications do not require sound insulation testing. Studio Acoustics UK Ltd. offer sound insulation testing (or pre-completion testing as it is called, as testing is carried out prior to sign off of the building) at competitive rates starting at £350 +VAT. Testing fees are dependent upon the number of tests required at a property, and full no obligation quotations are provided prior to site visits to ensure there are no unpleasant surprises.
