Schools
Hard surfaces make lessons hard to follow at the back of the room
BB93 across classrooms, halls and corridors, not room by room
Impact-resistant finishes that survive a whole school's daily use
One survey, one project, phased around the school calendar
Schools need acoustic treatment beyond the classroom
Good treatment fixes this across the whole site, not room by room. By applying the same standard consistently to classrooms, halls and corridors in one project, every space a pupil moves through during the day gets brought up to BB93 — not just the ones on the original list.
BB93 exists because an untreated classroom measurably gets in the way of learning — but walk the rest of a typical school and the same hard floors, high ceilings and large groups cause the same problem in the dining hall, the corridors and the assembly space. Treat the classrooms in isolation and pupils still spend half their day in rooms working against them.

How we approach
Schools
We know BB93 is written for individual classrooms, but the same problem runs through a school's dining halls, corridors and assembly spaces too — and treating classrooms in isolation still leaves pupils spending half their day in rooms working against them. We survey and specify across the whole site.
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.
Designed to BB93 targets
We specify consistently across classrooms, halls and circulation space to BB93, not just individual rooms picked from a list.
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
Schools
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 survey the full site and specify treatment consistently across classrooms, dining halls and circulation areas, meeting BB93's reverberation targets while keeping finishes durable enough for daily school use.
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.
Yes. We survey the full site and specify treatment across classrooms, halls, dining spaces and corridors in one project, against the BB93 target for each room type. A single survey and specification replaces separate room-by-room quotes and separate points of contact.
BB93 sets separate reverberation and noise targets by room type, so a dining hall, corridor or assembly hall has its own figures rather than the classroom one. We assess each space and specify against the target that applies, so noisy circulation and social areas are not left untreated.
Yes. We schedule installation around the school calendar, usually in holidays or after hours, and phase work across the site so lessons are not disrupted. Access, safeguarding and site rules are agreed with your premises team before we start.
Impact-resistant, durable finishes that cope with bags, balls and daily contact. We specify tougher facings and safer mounting heights in corridors and halls than in quieter rooms, and avoid delicate fabrics that would not last a term.
Yes. You receive a single survey and specification covering every space we treat, so governors, the local authority or funders have one clear document. Post-installation testing is available as an optional extra to confirm the results against the target for each room.
