In Kent, E2 Consultants can deliver Sound Insulation Testing for new or refurbished dwellings in compliance with Part E of the Building Regulation.
As part of our service in Kent we can also offer advice on the additional requirements of Approved Document Part E including the control of reverberation in common areas and the performance of internal walls and floors.
We actively encourage clients to seek our services at the earliest opportunity as it is possible that the noise mitigation measures required in some instances, could dictate significant changes to external and internal layouts. Therefore our early involvement could remove the need for costly revisions.
