Soundproofing uses various methods to block or absorb unwanted noise.
You may want to soundproof your property to stop external noise from neighbours or traffic. Or, you might want to stop noise leaking out of your property, if you like to play loud music for example. Soundproofing can also help reduce noise between different rooms in a property.
Soundproofing won’t completely wipe out unwanted noise, but it can significantly reduce it.
How much does soundproofing cost?
The cost depends on the scale of the work you’re having done. The average cost of soundproofing a single wall can range from £800 to £1,600.
What does soundproofing involve?
It depends on the type of noise you need to block, where it’s coming from and how much of it you want to block out.
There are 2 basic types of noise: airborne noise describes sounds like voices and music. Impact noise is the sound of something hitting something else, like a door slamming or a drill going through paving. More extensive work may be needed to deal with this type of noise.
Windows, floors and ceilings are where noise problems tend to arise, particularly in flats.
Ways of dealing with noise can include:
- Double or triple glazing – this can help block sound from entering and escaping, especially if combined with good sealants around the windows.
- Secondary glazing
- Doors – a solid wood door will help block out unwanted sound.
- Carpeting – putting down good-quality carpets, combined with noise-reducing underlay, can help absorb sound, stopping it from travelling from upper floors.
- Silicone caulking – this seals up gaps in your walls that sound can travel through.
- Acoustic panels and acoustic tiles – these can be attached to ceilings or walls to absorb noise.
- Double walls and lowered ceilings – these work by creating a cavity between the lowered ceiling and the real ceiling, in which sound is absorbed. They’ll reduce the space in your property, but not necessarily by much.

What causes problems with noise?
Many older homes weren’t built with modern pastimes in mind – like watching TV and listening to amplified music, while some modern homes are poorly insulated.
In 2003 regulations came into force to ensure new-builds and conversions have an approved level of sound insulation. If you live in an older property, however, soundproofing could be the answer.
What materials are used in soundproofing?
A wide range of materials can be used to block and absorb sound including mass loaded vinyl (MLV), foams, rubber and specially designed plasterboard.
All materials are given a Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating depending on their ability to block sound, and a Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) rating or Sound Absorption Average (SSA) to show their noise absorption.
Softer materials generally absorb more sound than harder materials. So if you want to reduce the amount of sound coming from your flat, go for carpet rather than laminate.
What qualifications does your soundproofing specialist need?
Different types of tradespeople can carry out soundproofing work, depending on what you need, so you won’t be looking for a specific qualification.
Here are a few questions you should ask of your tradesperson:
- Are they specialists in soundproofing rather than general building?
- Can they give you examples of when they’ve solved a problem similar to yours?
- What warranty do they provide?
Do you need planning permission for soundproofing?
It depends on what you’re having done and where you live. For example, you may need permission to change your windows if you live in a conservation area. For more information see the Planning Portal website
What about insurance for soundproofing?
As with all building work, you’ll need to check your tradesperson has full public liability insurance. This covers them if someone is injured or property is damaged because of the work.

Bellhurst Construction gave me a very detailed quote and were able to start the job promptly. Darrel worked with me on adjusting he quote in order to prioritise the things that needed the most attention. We were held up a few days by the weather initially, but once things were underway I was very happy with how things progressed. The team were polite and worked hard through some of the hottest days of the year! The end result is wonderful and really makes the most of the garden.
I have worked in the building industry since I was 16. We built new houses, extensions, carried out refurbishments to old and new buildings. We cover all aspects of building we are NHBC grade 1 registered and CITB trained. We are friendly and professional and always happy to help.

Hi, my name is Wojtek. I am from Poland and have been working in the construction industry for 20 years. I graduated from a construction school in Poland. I’ve been living in England for 11 years, where I’ve gained extensive knowledge of building materials, principles, and types of construction work. I mainly focus on general construction, but my specialty is complete bathroom renovations — from total demolition to final finishing (plastering, drywall installation, floor screeding, plumbing, minor electrical work, ceramic and porcelain tiling, bathroom installations, painting). I am also a professional in insulating external walls with polystyrene, mesh, and various types of plaster (mineral, acrylic, silicate). Similar to bathroom renovations, I am an expert in insulation as well. I have extensive experience in Poland and am gaining more practice in England, though this type of work is still less common here. So far, I have completed several full home renovations. As mentioned, I have no issues with painting (using a paint sprayer), plastering, radiator replacements or repositioning, minor electrical work (the only thing I don't do is laying carpets). Depending on the type and scale of the job, I can adjust the number of people needed to complete the project if necessary. Thanks to my vast experience, I can assist with any type of renovation and ensure it meets high standards. I guarantee full dedication to every project.
WM did a fantastic job on my bathroom i'd highly recommend him.
Hi thanks for looking at my profile. My name is Jon, I am time served tradesman NVQ Level 3, I have gained vast experience in17 years that i have been plastering, internal, external, specialist, external rendering systems. I have a very good reputation.
Jon said he would be on site 0800 Tuesday and that the job would take two days. I wait in for him, he then advises at 08:47 on that he wont be there but promises to be there 0800 Wednesday. Arrives 09:45 Wednesday. I arranged access for him and was at work on Thursday and didn’t realise until he messaged me at 15:24 that he hasn’t turned into work again, can he come back on Saturday. Messages at 05:28 on Saturday saying he can’t come in but can do tomorrow (Sunday). Messed us around. Won’t use again.
