If you are tired of hearing footsteps, conversations, or music from the property below, professional floor soundproofing in Brighton can help create a much quieter and more comfortable home. At West Sussex Soundproofing, we specialise in soundproofing floors in Brighton, providing effective acoustic solutions designed to reduce both airborne noise and impact noise travelling between floors.
Noise travelling through floors is one of the most common issues in flats, apartments, and terraced homes throughout Brighton. Standard floor structures often allow sound to travel easily between properties, which can cause ongoing disturbance and frustration. Our professional floor soundproofing systems in Brighton are designed to minimise these noise problems and significantly improve sound insulation.
Our experienced team installs high-performance floor soundproofing systems in Brighton using proven acoustic materials and installation techniques. These systems are designed to absorb sound and reduce vibration transfer through the floor structure.
Typical materials used in our floor soundproofing solutions in Brighton include:
By combining these materials correctly, we can create a highly effective soundproofing floor system that reduces noise travelling between floors.
Many homes and converted flats across Brighton were not originally built with modern sound insulation standards. This often means noise from lower floors can travel easily through the structure and into your living space.
Installing professional floor soundproofing in Brighton can help reduce:

Noise from downstairs neighbours (footsteps, conversations, TV sounds)
Soundproofing for flats: Minimizing noise transfer between floors
Reducing impact noise: Such as footsteps, furniture movement, or door slams
Breakdown of Solution:
If you are struggling with airborne noise from below but wish to maintain floor height, the SilentSand® Acoustic Boards combined with high-density Rockwool provide a highly effective solution. This combination significantly reduces airborne noise such as talking, televisions, and music through floors and ceilings.For enhanced soundproofing, add Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV), which increases floor height by only 5mm. The system is compatible with most floor finishes, offering a practical and high-performance solution for residential and commercial spaces.
Breakdown of Solution:
We remove the existing floor covering to expose the floor joists. Then, we install 100mm of high-density, acoustic and fire-rated mineral wool between the joists to deliver superior sound absorption and fire protection.
Next, we lay the structural flooring either directly onto the joists or over joist isolation strips to further reduce impact noise. By gluing the floor instead of fixing it, we create a fully floating floor that maximises both acoustic performance and structural flexibility.
Breakdown of Solution:
For a simple yet effective acoustic floor upgrade, our 15mm high-density rubber acoustic underlay is ideal for carpets or wooden floors. This underlay reduces both impact and airborne noise in a single solution.
For optimal performance, we recommend lifting the existing flooring and installing a layer of 100mm high-density acoustic and fire-rated mineral wool between the floor joists to prevent noise reverberation and enhance overall soundproofing efficiency.
Breakdown of Solution:
Whether converting or renovating, our High-Density Acoustic Deck Flooring System offers a direct-to-joist installation that effectively reduces impact noise through floors. Ideal for domestic settings, it helps minimise noise from neighbors while fully meeting Part E building regulations. This system provides a reliable, high-performance acoustic solution, enhancing comfort and sound insulation throughout your home.
Breakdown of Solution:
This quick acoustic floor system is designed to dampen impact noise through existing floors efficiently. Please note, this system does not reduce airborne noise. For enhanced performance, we recommend adding a layer of Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) to also reduce airborne sound transmission, providing a more comprehensive acoustic solution for your space.
Breakdown of Solution:
We fit the floor hangers with a 5mm rubber isolation strip and install them directly onto the floor joists, effectively decoupling the entire floor from the joists. Next, we screw the existing flooring into the metal wings of the hangers, creating a fully isolated structure. The floor rises by only 7mm, resulting in a complete floating floor that maximises both acoustic performance and structural flexibility.
