So, what exactly is sound insulation testing?

Sound insulation tests generally cover two types of noise; airborne and impact. Airborne sound is transmitted through the air. This could be in the form of a conversation, noise from a TV or music. Impact sound is when a sound physically hits something, like someone tapping on the wall or walking up the stairs. We test for these noises to make sure that residential dwellings comply with Part E of the Building Regulations, which sets out what a reasonable level of sound should be. This ensures residents live peacefully with acceptable levels of sound insulation.

We definitely recommend getting in touch with us as early as you can. This will enable us to scope out the job and ensure the test goes smoothly without any problems. And to make life easier for yourself, follow our top tips below on how to get your dwelling insulation test-ready:

• Ensure all windows have been installed and are fully glazes. Keep them closed on the day of your test.
• Hang all your internal doors and close them on the day of your test.
• Make sure ceilings and floors are finished as we unfortunately won’t be able to do an accurate test.
• Make sure no cosmetic flooring has been laid.
• Clear all rooms of people and belongings.
• Fit all electrical sockets, light switches and skirting boards.
• Make sure the dwelling is empty of people and things. We need full quietness to test, so make sure you book on a day where there’ll no tradesmen around or noisy work being carried out.
