Under Part E of the Building Regulations a change of use development of a single dwelling into flats / apartments has to pass sound testing before acceptance by Building Control. The expense and stress to the Developer of having to put right a failure of sound testing has been well-documented in the construction industry press. Sound Effects offers a peace-of-mind service to those converting houses into flats / apartments:
Please see the links on the right for our site tried-and-tested acoustic floor, wall and ceiling solutions in meeting Part E. If you chose our fitters to install these, the Company will provide a written guarantee that our work will pass subsequent sound testing. No Ifs, No Buts - we will put matters right at our own expense if the development fails sound testing. Sound Effects has installed literally tens of thousands of m2 of soundproofing for flat conversions and we have a 100% pass rate of sound testing on our installations.
Given our expertise in this area this leads to speed of installation. As such, Sound Effects' charge rates to supply-and-fit our solutions to meet Part E requirements are usually similar to (if not less) than those charged by most quality general builders who would not offer a guarantee of passing sound testing as we do. So why take the risk? Please call us to discuss your situation so that Sound Effects can provide you with a fixed-price quotation for our supply-and-fit installation service.
