Questions from Okehampton homeowners
My walls are thick stone. Why can I still hear my neighbours?+
Sound often travels around the wall rather than through it: through shared floor joists, chimney breasts and gaps at the edges. The survey finds those paths.
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.
