Industrial
Sustained machinery noise creates legal exposure for employers
Assessed against the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005
Impact- and moisture-resistant, built for washdown
Fitted around existing plant, phased to protect production
In industrial spaces, noise control is a legal duty
Good treatment fixes this at the source, not with earplugs. By absorbing sound with durable, washable materials fitted around your existing plant, you bring exposure down to a safer level without slowing the production line for a single day.
On a production floor, noise isn't background — it's machinery running for hours, next to people who have to be there for a full shift. Push past a certain level and it stops being an annoyance and becomes a legal exposure problem, one that shows up in hearing damage claims years down the line if it's never addressed.

How we approach
Industrial
We know a production floor is a legal exposure problem before it's a comfort problem — noise levels that would just be annoying in an office can breach the Control of Noise at Work Regulations on a factory floor. We start with a proper assessment against those limits, not a guess at what sounds better.
One contractor, start to finish
Survey, design, installation and testing all handled in-house — no subcontractors, no handoffs between suppliers. One team stays accountable for the result, from the first site visit to the final sign-off.
Designed to a target
Every space gets an acoustic design modelled to a specific reverberation target, not a standard panel layout. Before-and-after measurement is available as an option, so the improvement can be proven, not just felt.
Built for the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005
We assess and treat against the HSE's legal exposure limits, not just general comfort, so the result is defensible as a duty-of-care measure, not just a quieter room.
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.
From first survey to final finish
One team handles all seven stages, the same way on every project, so you always know what happens next.
A surveyor visits the site, or works from your drawings and photos when a visit isn't practical. Either way, the room, its surfaces and how it is used are recorded before any advice is given.
Reverberation, ambient noise and noise transfer are read against what the space is used for. The findings arrive as a written report with recommendations, yours to keep with no obligation to proceed.
Treatment is modelled against a reverberation target, then drawn up with panel positions, fixings and finishes. Nothing moves forward until you have approved the design.
Every quotation comes with the specification behind it, listing products by type, quantity and finish with costs set out line by line. What is quoted is what the design calls for.
Panels, baffles, ceilings and screens come from our Acoustic Solutions range and are supplied to the approved specification. What arrives on site matches what was designed.
Our own engineers fit to the approved drawings, checking positions and fixings as they go. One team supplies and installs, so nothing is handed between contractors.
Optional: after fit-out the space can be measured again and compared with the original survey, so the improvement is measured rather than assumed. Results are reported against the relevant standards and the written record goes into your building file.
What We Offer
Industrial
Need expert acoustic advice?
Our acoustic design service includes detailed CAD drawings with wall elevation renderings, precise product placements, specifications, and verified performance ratings — all provided with every quotation.
We provide remote acoustic proposals using client drawings and photographs. Each proposal includes accurate product recommendations and detailed quotations for supply and installation, saving time without compromising precision.
We provide complimentary NTI RT60 testing to measure reverberation times and assess acoustic performance before and after treatment. This service ensures precise product specification and demonstrates measurable improvements in clarity and comfort.
For projects with complex acoustic requirements, we provide a comprehensive audit package that includes detailed site testing and analysis. This chargeable service is fully credited if we're contracted to deliver the acoustic treatments.
Trusted on schools, venues and landmark halls
How we reduce the noise
We fit impact- and moisture-resistant acoustic panels and baffles rated for industrial use, positioned to bring overall noise levels down without requiring changes to the production line itself.
One team surveys, designs and installs — nothing gets lost between contractors
Every install is measured and tested against the target spec before we call it done
Not tied to one manufacturer, so the product is chosen for your space, not our stock

Acoustic treatment FAQs: standards, finishes and installation
Straight answers about treating a space like this, including the standards that apply and how the work is done.
Start with an assessment against the thresholds: 80 dB(A) daily exposure triggers assessment and information, 85 dB(A) makes hearing protection mandatory and requires reasonably practicable engineering controls, and 87 dB(A) at the ear must never be exceeded. Absorption lowers room noise, but controlling noise at source comes first.
The employer. Where exposure may reach the lower action value, the employer must assess the risk, using a competent person, and act on the findings. Treatment we specify supports that duty but does not replace a proper noise risk assessment.
Mostly not. Next to a machine, the direct sound dominates, and panels only reduce the reflected noise in the room. Operators at the source need enclosures, damping or source controls, while panels help everyone else on the floor.
Often, for lowering overall room noise, because one treatment helps the whole floor instead of one machine. Enclosures still win for a single very loud source. We compare both against your exposure data before recommending either.
Yes, as an optional extra. We can measure levels before specifying treatment and again once it is installed, so you have before-and-after data for your records. A full noise-at-work risk assessment is a separate duty and should be carried out by a competent person.
