Services
Environmental Noise Surveys
We conduct comprehensive environmental noise surveys to meet planning requirements and regulatory standards. Our assessments evaluate noise impact from sources like industrial plants and urban developments, ensuring compliance with local authority guidelines. Using advanced measurement tools, we provide actionable recommendations to mitigate noise pollution for residential and commercial projects.
Sound Insulation Testing
Our UKAS-accredited sound insulation testing verifies compliance with Building Regulations Document E. We assess partition structures in residential and commercial buildings, delivering detailed reports to ensure legal requirements are met. Failed tests receive expert remediation advice, including soundproof plasterboard installation, with retesting available on the same visit.
Air Pressure Testing
Mandatory for new developments, our air pressure testing measures uncontrolled air leakage in buildings. We provide instant on-site results and formal certificates within 24 hours, supporting compliance with Part L building regulations. Failed tests receive immediate troubleshooting and retesting to expedite project completion.
Noise Abatement
We design and implement noise abatement systems for industrial and commercial environments. Our solutions include acoustic enclosures and ventilation systems to reduce noise pollution at the source. Tailored to specific noise sources like HVAC units or factory equipment, our measures ensure regulatory compliance and community disturbance prevention.
Thermal Imaging
Our thermal imaging surveys identify insulation defects, air leakage, and moisture issues in buildings. Aligned with BREEAM standards, these assessments help optimise energy efficiency and meet sustainability targets. We provide detailed analysis to resolve temperature regulation problems and improve building performance.
