Residential
Hard, open-plan rooms echo, and media rooms never sound right
Home cinemas and listening rooms tuned like a studio
Panels and furniture that read as decor, not equipment
Scheduled around your household, not a contractor's timetable
Homes need acoustic treatment for echo, cinemas and conversions
Good treatment fixes this without it looking like a fix. Panels and acoustic furniture chosen to read as decor bring the room down to a comfortable level, and where Building Regulations apply, insulation is specified to the standard the work actually requires — so the space sounds right and passes inspection.
An open-plan extension or a converted loft can have exactly the same hard, reflective surfaces as an office — glass, plaster, exposed structure — which means it can echo like one too. A home cinema with the wrong acoustics never quite sounds right, and a converted room that skips the required sound insulation can leave you hearing every footstep from the room below.

How we approach
Residential
We know residential acoustic work is really two different jobs — a comfort upgrade for an open-plan living space, and a regulated conversion or extension where Approved Document E sets a mandatory sound insulation standard. We check which one applies before specifying anything.
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.
Meets Approved Document E where required
For conversions and extensions, we specify against the mandatory sound insulation standard the work actually falls under, not a generic comfort target.
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
Residential
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
For living spaces we typically specify discreet wall panels and acoustic furniture; for dedicated media rooms and home cinemas we tune absorption and diffusion to the room's specific use, the same way we would for a professional studio.
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.
Only if the work creates a new dwelling or changes a wall or floor shared with another dwelling. New separating walls and floors must achieve 45 dB DnT,w + Ctr airborne and 62 dB L'nT,w or lower for impact, and conversions 43 dB and 64 dB. A survey confirms which applies.
Choose panels and furniture-integrated absorption that read as decor, such as fabric-wrapped panels in your colours, timber slats or upholstered pieces. The room should still feel like a home once treated, so we match finishes to your interior.
Tune absorption and diffusion to how the room will be used, in the same way as a studio. That means controlling reverberation, treating the first reflection points and dealing with bass build-up, rather than covering every wall in panels.
Much less than building work. Most treatment is fitted to walls and ceilings without structural changes, and work is sequenced to limit disruption to daily life. We agree access, working hours and protection of your furniture before we start.
No. Most of our residential work is in existing homes, extensions and conversions. Treatment for echo and speech clarity suits any room, while insulation between dwellings is mainly a matter for conversions and new separating structures.
