Soundproofing to flats in Cramlington.

January 29th, 2014

North East Soundproofing & Insulation can help with domestic or ‘noisy neighbour’ sound problems by installing a bespoke acoustic solution to suit most properties. We are able to supply and install the correct system to reduce or eliminate noise issues with as little disruption as possible.

Our directly employed workforce undergo regular training to meet the requirements of modern day standards and legislation.

Following a recent installation to improve the sound insulation in flats, our customer had this to say:

“Noise pollution from upstairs was dreadful. Old ceiling plaster board removed, sound and insulation materials inserted in the ceiling cavity, new ceiling boards fitted and 4 ceilings plastered.

North East Soundproofing explained how they would solve the problem, quote provided was pretty much in line with my expectation. Work started and completed on time, within budget and finished to a high standard. There was no mess left and I am pleased with the overall job. The engineers were polite and pleasant at all times.”

Soundproofing your walls and/or ceilings can also help reduce heating bills.

Insulating your home is the most cost effective way of improving the energy efficiency rating of your home. Not only will it make your home quieter, warmer and more comfortable but it will also make it a more attractive investment for a prospective buyer.

Our Soundproofing Solutions not only significantly reduce noise, but will also help reduce heating costs. Around a third of the heat is lost in an uninsulated house with cavity walls, which account for a large majority of recently built homes. Occupants can see a return on investment within a couple of years by soundproofing their walls and ceilings.

Homes with solid walls can lose even more heat than cavity walls. Typically the total heat loss from an uninsulated house with solid external walls account for 45%. Insulating solid walls can be more expensive than cavity wall insulation. However, higher savings can be achieved through internal insulation for solid walls saving the occupant up to £400 a year.

The benefits of Soundproofing:

• A quieter home, restoring peace.

• A warmer home in the winter and cooler in the summer.

• A more environmentally friendly home.

• Comfortable internal environment, quickly achieved.

• A cost effective solution to noise problems.

• No structural alterations

• Helping to protect the environment by installing an environmentally friendly insulation product with a high recycled content

• Bespoke solution.

• Fire Retardant.

Noisy neighbours and Soundproofing

September 16th, 2013

Are you bothered by the noise your neighbour makes?

Noise from neighbours can be very  irritating and annoying. It can also be very disturbing. Having noisy neighbours can be officially bad for your health: The World Health Organisation (WHO) released a report entitled Guideline for Community Noise. This report highlighted a number of health risks associated with noise generated by noisy neighbours.

How do you deal with it?

Have you tried speaking to your neighbours? Sometimes the personal approach is the best approach… Don’t go in guns blazing, moaning, complaining, phoning the council or phoning the police! This will only antagonize your neighbour and probably make them make more noise!!!

If you feel you can’t talk to them, or they are simply not sympathetic to your request, then maybe think about soundproofing… Because it works.

Soundproofing, when installed correctly by efficient, professional installers using the correct acoustic materials will work, and will significantly reduce and block unwanted noise.

Our soundproofing solutions offer affordable, cost effective sound insulation from noise pollution and noisy neighbours. Without adequate acoustic insulation many people will have their privacy constantly invaded by noise!

Soundproofing Advice

September 11th, 2013

I am often contacted by people who have no experience in soundproofing, other than what they have ‘looked up’ on the internet, and to my astonishment, they often have some interesting stories about soundproofing advice they have received from family and friends. Let me tell you now – Sticking egg boxes to your walls will not soundproof your walls. They will however constitute a fire hazard!

Flo-chip polystyrene, bubble wrap and rolled-up newspapers (you may be surprised) also do not work either!

Noise is unwanted sound and sound waves are vibrations in the air that can pass through solids, liquids and gasses. Soundproofing is all about creating ‘Barriers’ so that the vibrations drastically lose energy and therefore aren’t transmitted. We create those barriers by increasing mass and by separation.

We have proven soundproofing solutions that will significantly reduce and block unwanted noise from traveling from your neighbours home into yours. Contact us now for your free quotation.

Flat conversions – Soundproofing!

November 19th, 2012

 

We are often called upon to install soundproofing within flats. Generally there has been no attempt to install acoustic insulation when it should have been. Flats converted from large houses are often the case.

It’s good for us! As we get asked to put it right… But not good for home owners or tenants’ who have problems with noisy neighbours!  You don’t even have to have a noisy neighbour to have problems – as many flats are simply built poorly, and due to the original construction noise can easily travel throughout the building.

Part E of the current building Regulations state: Residential buildings, including houses and flats, must include some level of protection against the passage of sound from other parts of the same building as well as adjoining properties.

This will be achieved by constructing internal separating walls and floors which achieve the minimum standards as set out in the tables provided, in terms of the insulation against airborne and impact sound.

 

We have a project in Newcastle upon Tyne, where the property had no soundproofing installed when it was converted. The loft space had been changed into a residence, and noise was travelling between floors. We solved this problem by installing the correct type of acoustic insulation. The project is on-going as there are other parts of the building that require our attention.

Here’s a review from one of the tenants

North East Soundproofing Solutions recently worked on our flat which had been converted from an attic with very little in the way of sound insulation between our floor and our neighbour’s ceiling.

Ian and his team were extremely professional and worked hard to make sure the job was done efficiently and to a high standard.

We would not hesitate to recommend North East Soundproofing Solutions.

 

If noise invades your privacy then soundproofing is likely to offer a significant improvement to the quality of life in your home by reducing the amount of noise pollution you suffer. Whilst for some people it is generally raised voices and occasional loud music, for others it can be sound from television or radio.
