Can soundproofing completely eliminate noise?

Not entirely — but with the right materials and installation methods, it can significantly reduce both airborne and impact noise.

What’s the most effective type of soundproofing?

A combination of blocking, absorption, sealing, and decoupling techniques gives the most effective results, especially when tailored to the specific noise issue and space.

Expert Soundproofing Services

We install proven acoustic systems designed to reduce both airborne noise (voices, music, TV) and impact noise(footsteps and movement). Every installation is tailored to the building structure to achieve the best possible sound reduction.

Ceiling Soundproofing

Ceiling soundproofing is one of the most effective solutions for reducing noise from upstairs neighbours, including footsteps, dropped objects and impact vibration. Our specialist ceiling systems use acoustic isolation techniques and high-density soundproofing materials to significantly reduce sound travelling between floors.

Wall Soundproofing

If you are hearing voices, music or television through shared walls, our wall soundproofing systems can dramatically reduce noise transmission between neighbouring properties. These solutions are ideal for semi-detached houses, terraced homes and flats.

Floor Soundproofing

Floor soundproofing helps reduce impact noise and vibration travelling to rooms below. This is particularly useful in flats and multi-storey homes where footsteps and movement can easily travel through the structure of the building.

Many flats and older buildings across Brighton and Sussex suffer from poor acoustic insulation. We provide specialist soundproofing for flats in Brighton and Worthing, helping residents reduce neighbour noise and create a quieter living environment.

What does soundproofing cost

The cost of soundproofing can vary depending on several factors. Understanding these factors will help you estimate the budget required for your project and choose the most suitable acoustic solution for your property.

Key Factors That Affect Soundproofing Costs

1. The Area Being Soundproofed
The overall cost will depend on which part of the property you plan to soundproof. Common areas include:

Walls (particularly shared or party walls)
Floors (to reduce impact noise from above)
Ceilings (to minimise noise from upstairs neighbours)

Each area requires different installation methods and materials, which can affect the total cost.

2. The Soundproofing System Installed
Soundproofing systems vary widely depending on the materials and construction used. Different systems are designed to tackle different types of noise, such as airborne sound (voices, music, television) or impact noise (footsteps, movement).

Because acoustic products and system designs vary, the cost of materials and installation will also differ.

3. The Level of Acoustic Performance Required
There are multiple levels of soundproofing performance available. Basic systems provide moderate noise reduction, while more advanced systems incorporate high-performance acoustic materials to deliver significantly improved sound insulation.

Higher-performing systems typically include additional layers, specialised acoustic products, and more complex installation methods, which increases the overall cost.

Average Cost of Soundproofing per Square Metre

As a general guide, the cost of soundproofing typically ranges between £115 and £180 per square metre.

This estimate depends on the type of system installed and the level of soundproofing required. Please note that these figures usually exclude VAT if the contractor or company carrying out the work is VAT registered.

Additional Costs to Consider

When installing soundproofing systems on walls or ceilings, additional finishing works are often required, including:

Plastering or skimming to create a smooth surface
Redecoration, such as painting or wallpapering

If your existing walls include decorative cornicing or coving and you wish to reinstate it after installation, this may incur additional labour and material costs.

Getting an Accurate Quote

Because every property and noise issue is different, it is always best to obtain a professional assessment. A site survey allows specialists to recommend the most effective soundproofing system and provide an accurate quotation based on your specific requirements.

Investing in the right soundproofing solution can significantly improve comfort, privacy, and quality of life within your home.

MR Alexander

“The West Sussex Soundproofing team started and finished exactly as promised. Not only did they use top-quality materials, but they also ensured everything ran smoothly. Two months later, I’m still enjoying my recording studio without any issues. Because of their professionalism, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them or work with them again.”

Mrs Burke

“It’s been pure silence ever since! On Thursday night, I noticed a faint noise while upstairs, yet my husband David—who was downstairs—heard nothing at all. The sound to the bedroom wall is now so muffled, it’s barely noticeable. Watching TV has never felt this peaceful. David is even considering soundproofing his favourite chair area. Also, a big thank you for sending such a great plasterer!”

Mr Butler

“From arrival to cleanup, the experience was smooth and professional. Over two days, they remained punctual, courteous, and efficient. The cost stayed exactly as quoted, which was appreciated. Since the installation, noise from above has dramatically reduced—it’s almost completely silent now!”

Mr Atttrige

“Work began promptly, and the team made a conscious effort to minimise dust and disruption. Their craftsmanship stood out, especially when they resolved an unexpected ceiling challenge with ease. The final result? Absolutely flawless. After hiring West Sussex Soundproofing twice, I can confidently say I’ll use them again.”
