Questions from Torbay homeowners
Do you cover all of Torbay?+
Yes: Torquay, Paignton, Brixham and the surrounding area.
Can you help with a flat conversion that failed its sound test?+
Yes. We'll look at why it failed, usually flanking paths or gaps rather than the main wall or floor, and fix the details before the re-test.
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.
