Sound Testing for building compliance.
Sound testing for residential projects, assessing separating walls and floors and providing the evidence needed to demonstrate compliance with Building Regulations.
Test sound insulation before completion.
Sound testing assesses the acoustic performance of separating walls and floors between dwellings, helping establish whether the completed construction provides the required level of sound insulation.
We carry out testing at the appropriate stage of construction and provide the results needed to support Building Regulations compliance and the project's completion requirements.

Common questions
When should sound testing take place?
Testing should take place when the relevant separating walls and floors are sufficiently complete for the construction to be assessed accurately, while there is still an opportunity to address issues if required.
What does sound testing measure?
Sound testing assesses the acoustic performance of separating constructions between dwellings, including airborne and, where applicable, impact sound performance.
What happens if a test identifies a problem?
The results can help identify where further investigation or remedial work may be required before the project reaches completion.
Can you test multiple homes within a development?
Yes. Testing can be arranged for individual dwellings or coordinated across multiple homes within a wider residential development.
Keep the wider project on track.
Sound testing often sits alongside other completion and compliance requirements. These services may also be relevant to your project.
