Common problems
Noise we're asked about in Dartmouth
Period townhouses
Timber floors and shared walls in older buildings let sound travel between floors and neighbours.
What usually worksBusy streets and the river
Town-centre streets, ferries and events like the Regatta make front rooms lively in summer.
What usually worksWith so many listed buildings, we favour reversible, sympathetic methods such as independent linings and secondary glazing. Listed building consent may be needed for internal work, so check with South Hams District Council first.

Questions from Dartmouth homeowners
Can work be done out of season?+
Yes. For holiday lets and second homes, autumn and winter are usually the best time to plan acoustic work.
Is the site survey free?+
Yes. We visit, assess the noise and give you a written quote with no obligation to go ahead.
Will I need planning permission?+
Soundproofing inside your own home doesn't normally need planning permission or Building Regulations approval. Listed buildings and conversions into flats are the main exceptions.
