Background..

All building development is subject to strict Planning & Building Regulations. New regulations require all new buildings to have adequate and appropriate sound insulation between dwellings.

With noise complaints on the increase and a growing litigious culture it has become essential that minimum levels of sound insulation are achieved.

Building regulation 'Approved Document E:2003' lays down minimum requirements for sound insulation between new dwellings.

Conversions
Old Victorian houses and disused shops can be converted into attractive multi-occupancy flats and maisonettes.

As well as new buildings, the 'Approved Document E', lays down minimum requirements for all new conversions.

Testing
To ensure new buildings and conversions comply with sound regulations a stringent test must be carried out. If the building passes the sound test a report stating a pass will be issued. If the building fails the test, remedial action must be carried out before the building can be re-tested.
