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.

Soundproofing Specialists in Brighton, Hove & Surrounding Areas

If unwanted noise is affecting your home, flat or studio, West Sussex Soundproofing Ltd provides professional soundproofing solutions across Brighton, Hove and the surrounding Sussex areas. We specialise exclusively in soundproofing, delivering proven systems designed to reduce both airborne and impact noise in residential and commercial properties.

Common issues such as noisy neighbours, footstep noise from above, party wall disturbance, and music or drum noise can seriously affect comfort and wellbeing. Our experienced team installs high-performance soundproofing for walls, ceilings and floors, using carefully designed acoustic systems that meet or exceed current UK Building Regulations Part E where required.

Wall, Ceiling and Floor Soundproofing

We provide tailored solutions based on the type of noise you are experiencing. Party wall soundproofing helps reduce voices and TV noise from adjoining properties, while ceiling soundproofing systems minimise footstep and impact noise from above. Our floor soundproofing installations are ideal for flats, conversions and family homes where noise transfer between levels is a concern.

Every project starts with understanding your specific noise problem and property construction. We then recommend the most effective soundproofing system using the key principles of mass, isolation and acoustic absorption.

Drum Rooms and Music Studios

We are also highly experienced in drum room soundproofing and music studio builds. Whether you are converting a garage into a drum practice room or creating a home studio, we can install systems that significantly reduce sound breakout while keeping the room practical to use.

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.”
