Sound Insulation Testing – Approved Document E Compliance

At SNR Noise Consultants, we are proud to offer sound insulation testing in full compliance with Approved Document E of the UK Building Regulations. Our expert team ensures your building projects meet the required sound insulation standards, providing a comfortable and regulation-compliant living environment.

What is Sound Insulation Testing?

Sound insulation testing, also known as pre-completion testing, assesses how well separating walls and floors reduce sound transmission between dwellings. These tests are crucial for:

Airborne noise (e.g., conversations, music)
Impact noise (e.g., footsteps, dropped objects)

These tests are mandatory for new builds and conversions to demonstrate compliance with Part E of the Building Regulations.

Our Testing Services

We conduct both airborne and impact sound tests, ensuring reliable and precise results:

Airborne Sound Tests – Assess sound insulation of walls and floors by measuring noise transmission.
Impact Sound Tests – Measure noise levels from impact sources (e.g., footfalls) on floors.

When is Testing Required?

Sound insulation testing is typically required for:

✔ New residential buildings
✔ Converted properties with separate dwellings

We recommend carrying out testing before final finishes are applied, allowing time for any necessary remedial work if needed.
