Acoustic Survey

We listen first. You decide next.

An AI-assisted acoustic report and a quotation, not an opinion

Reverberation (RT60) and noise transfer are assessed, not judged by ear

No charge, and no obligation to proceed with any next step

Too much absorption flattens a space; we find the balance

Assessment

What a survey tells you

An acoustic survey assesses how your room behaves: how long sound lingers, how loud the space is at rest, how far speech carries and how much noise passes through to the room next door. That turns "it's too noisy" into a specific problem with a specific target, whether the space is a classroom, an office or a restaurant.

It also answers the question most people end up guessing at: how much absorption the room needs. Too little changes almost nothing; too much leaves a space flat and unnaturally quiet. The AI-assisted acoustic report recommends the treatment that reaches the target, comes with a quotation, and is yours to keep whoever carries out the work. On qualifying projects, the acoustic design that follows is free as well.

Sound reasons for Acoustic

Every recommendation is backed by data, not guesswork — from the first site survey to the final sign-off.

One contractor, start to finish

Our acousticians survey and design, our installation team fits, and testing is carried out with our testing partner, EMC Acoustics. One team stays accountable for the result.

Designed to a target

Every space gets an acoustic design modelled to a specific reverberation target, not a standard panel layout. Before-and-after acoustic measurement is available as a paid add-on, so the improvement can be proven, not just felt.

Independent on materials

We source from several manufacturers and are tied to none, so we specify what your space and budget actually need, not what one catalogue stocks.

Figures, not guesswork

When measurement is added, reverberation, noise and speech clarity are measured with calibrated equipment, not estimated, so you get numbers rather than an opinion.

Clear reporting, every time

Surveys and tests end with a written report of findings and recommendations that goes straight into the building file.

No pressure to buy

Surveys and advice come with no obligation to proceed. If a space doesn't need treatment, or needs less than you thought, we'll tell you.

Scope of the acoustic survey

Every assessment is tailored to the room and its use and follows the same scope on every visit. The survey is free, and nothing chargeable is added unless you ask for it.

Site assessment

The room, its surfaces and how sound behaves inside it, recorded on site or from drawings and photos when a visit isn't practical.

Reverberation, noise and transfer

Reverberation time (RT60), ambient noise and noise transfer are assessed against the room's target. Before-and-after acoustic measurement with calibrated NTI equipment is available as a paid add-on.

Cost, timing and what you receive

Your survey questions, answered.

How much does an acoustic survey cost?

Our acoustic survey is free, with no obligation to go ahead with anything afterwards, and the report is yours to keep whoever carries out the work. We would like the chance to earn the project, but the survey stands on its own as useful evidence about your room.

How long does an acoustic survey take?

It depends on the size and number of rooms. A single room is usually a short visit, while larger or multi-room sites take longer. We agree the visit time when you book, and send the written report once the findings have been processed.

Can an acoustic survey be done remotely?

Yes. Where a visit is not practical, we work from room dimensions, photos and drawings and give you a budget and initial recommendations. A site visit adds on-site detail, so we recommend one wherever possible.

What do I get at the end of an acoustic survey?

A quotation and an AI-assisted acoustic report with clear recommendations. On larger projects we may include acoustic design free of charge. Before-and-after acoustic measurement is available as a paid add-on.

Do I have to use you after a free acoustic survey?

No. The report is yours to keep either way, and you are free to take it to another supplier or use it with your own design team. There is no pressure to proceed, and the quotation carries no obligation.

What does an acoustic survey look at?

An acoustic survey looks at reverberation time, ambient noise levels and how sound transfers between spaces, plus speech clarity where it matters. Together these show what the room is doing now and how far it is from its target, whether that is BB93 (Building Bulletin 93) for a classroom or BS ISO 22955:2021 for an open-plan office. Before-and-after acoustic measurement is available as a paid add-on.

How do I know how much acoustic treatment my room needs?

It depends on the room's volume, surfaces, use and the target it has to meet, not on a rule of thumb. Too little absorption changes little and too much leaves a room flat, so the survey calculates how much is needed and where it should go.
