Our Acoustic Soundproofing Experts

Sound Deadening UK was founded by acoustic insulation specialists with over 15 years of experience supplying soundproofing products to UK homeowners, property developers, contractors, and architects. Over that time, we have helped thousands of customers solve noise problems — from couples in city flats dealing with footstep noise from upstairs neighbours, to developers achieving Building Regulations Approved Document E compliance on large residential conversions.

Our Acoustic Expertise

Our technical team has hands-on experience with:

  • Building Regulations Approved Document E compliance testing and specification
  • Building Bulletin 93 (BB93) acoustic standards for schools and educational buildings
  • BS 8233:2014 sound insulation design guidance for commercial buildings
  • ISO 140 and ISO 717 acoustic measurement standards
  • Pre-completion acoustic testing coordination
  • Robust Details specification for volume housebuilders

We do not just sell products — we understand the acoustic engineering behind them. Every product in our range has been selected based on independently tested performance data, and we can advise on which product is right for your specific project.

How We Test and Select Products

Before any product enters our range, our team evaluates:

  • Independent test data — we require ISO-accredited test results for all acoustic claims. We do not accept manufacturer dB figures without independent verification.
  • Real-world performance — laboratory ratings and field performance differ. We account for this difference in our product recommendations.
  • Installation compatibility — products are assessed for compatibility with common UK substrates (concrete, screed, timber joists) and floor finishes (laminate, LVT, engineered wood).
  • Value for money — the best acoustic performance at the most competitive price per m².
