Project Scope
RDP Interior Contractors were contacted to come up with a solution to reduce the impact noise from the flat above. Being of a very old construction type which had then been converted into flats at some stage during the 1950's, The character of the building was to not be effected as far as possible with a view if anyone wanted to return the room to how it was, it would take minimal efforts.
Our client had lived in the property for many years, although as the children in the property above got older, the impact noise transfer got more sever.
RDP Interior Contractors worked closely with the client to understand what noise was most audible and where the main areas of concern where, this allowed for the correct system to be selected and quoted.
As the property was of an older style, it boasted overly high ceilings which allowed the acoustic ceiling to be installed under the original feature cornice.
Upon commencing this project, all floors of work areas and access areas where covered protecting the carpets of the property.
The outcome - A huge reduction in both impact and airborne noise from the flat above.
"I contacted RDP as I was in need of expert guidance for sound insulation between my flat and the flat above. Their response time to my email was almost immediate, and a survey visit was easily arranged, detailed quote provided and date scheduling without any issues. Ceiling and plaster work always creates dust, but the guys were brilliant in trying to minimise the impact and cleaned up at the end of each day. Their attention to detail and care taken was excellent, you wouldn't know that they had been working here, and the sound from above is greatly reduced. I would highly recommend them. - R.Clark"

"So, initial contact and site visit was very good; polite, informative, friendly, knowledgeable and gave us confidence in the proposed solution. We appreciated the flexibility in pricing to accommodate my proposal that I remove the existing ceiling due to original unusually low ceiling [...]" height. The standard of works that were carried out were to a very high standard, and were started and finished on time. The plaster finish was excellent, the floor covering was very effective and even the clearing up was very professional. The footfall problem that we were experiencing from the flat above was so severe that we were not sure whether we would be able to actually stay in the flat or whether we would have to sell it on. The actual effectiveness of the soundproofing is such that we are now able to enjoy our stays in the flat. We are still waiting for the cold weather before we can properly judge the insulating properties of the ceiling. However early indications are that it has made quite a difference. We are pleased to say that we will without doubt, highly recommend your company. "
"The work was carried out whilst I was away on annual leave, but the finished product is a really good addition to AFC Bournemouth's broadcast interview rooms, and we are very happy with RDP."
