         SoundProofing London

Noisy neighbours or traffic noises can be reduced by sound proofing the walls and the floor.

Underlay is required when installing our flooring on a suspended floor, or in an upstairs apartment using the floating floor method. It has very good sound proofing properties, and can hugely reduce the noise passed through to the floor below. It will also help to level out any minor discrepancies in un even floorboards.Noise from neighbouring flats, either over or under yours, can be quite a problem. Property converted before June 1992 often had little or no sound proofing at the time of conversion so would benefit from installing some.

Noise is carried by vibrations, either through the air or through the structure of the building. Referring to 'sound proofing' is a bit of a misnomer, it would prove very difficult to full sound proof a floor/ceiling, the best that can be reasonably expect is to reduce noise intrusion to an acceptable level. To reduce noise, the vibrations must be isolated from the area. With floors/ceilings there are two options, either isolate the structure above the floor or below, each has its own advantages and drawback.

Sound proofing below the ceiling

Sound proofing above a floor requires fitting layers of various noise deadening materials. The disadvantages are that:

  • It raises the level of the floor thus requiring doors etc to be adjusted to clear the raised floor level;
  • It requires removal of the existing skirting board and its replacement;
  • It may be necessary to slightly raise any electrical outlets positioned above the original skirting board;
  • Any need to access services in the floor void (electrics, central heating etc) after the floor has been completed will be a real pain.
