Noise Surveys
We conduct comprehensive noise surveys to evaluate environmental sound levels for planning applications and regulatory compliance. Our assessments follow BS4142 and BS8233 standards, providing detailed analysis of industrial, construction, and residential noise sources. Clients receive actionable recommendations to mitigate noise pollution and meet statutory requirements.
Vibration Assessments
Our vibration assessments measure groundborne and structural vibrations from construction and industrial activities. Using BS6472 standards, we evaluate potential impacts on buildings and occupants. Clients receive detailed reports with mitigation strategies to prevent structural damage and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
Building Acoustics
We provide acoustic design solutions for new and existing buildings, ensuring compliance with Part E and BB93 standards. Our services include sound insulation testing, room acoustics optimisation, and noise control strategies. Clients benefit from tailored designs that enhance acoustic performance while maintaining architectural integrity.
Sound Testing
Our pre-completion sound testing verifies building compliance with Approved Document E requirements. We conduct airborne and impact sound insulation tests for residential and commercial developments. Clients receive detailed reports with practical recommendations to achieve regulatory approval and avoid costly remedial work.
Planning Applications
We prepare noise impact assessments to support planning applications, following ProPG and BS4142 guidelines. Our reports evaluate baseline noise conditions, predict development impacts, and propose mitigation measures. Clients receive robust documentation to satisfy local authority requirements and secure planning permissions efficiently.

Absolutely fantastic service from start to finish from Chris at Parker Jones Acoustics. A very professional approach and attitude, excellent communication and quick responsive service. An experience that is refreshing within the building sector and a company I could recommend and would certainly have no hesitating in using again.

We asked for help with a soundproofing issue and received very generous from Chris and full details on how to handle the problem - we had no choice in which company to use to solve the problem, but the company we used to do the tests confirmed everything that Chris had told us in an informal phone call. Expert and clear. This advice really helped us in resolving the issue and we will definitely use Chris if we have any problem in the future. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Report
Parker Jones did a sound assessment for my domestic air con that I was required to provide for the council. They were professional and thorough. They provided us with a solution to reduce the noise level and the council found no objections! Their price was competitive with other companies and a lightning fast turn around for the councils deadline.

Communication was second to none and we wouldnt hesitate to recommend his service.
