Hi there


As many of the housing in ED is Victorian lots of us suffer from each others' noise through walls/ceilings. 

In my case the ground floor flat I live in has very bad insulation from noise from footsteps, voices/shouting and running up and down staircases.

Has anyone attempted to use soundproofing solutions (i.e. acoustic panels or similar) specifically for cushioning noise coming through ceilings? 

Or can anyone recommend a specialist? 

Thanks in advance!

Hi I’ve done sound insulation between my neighbour on a party wall. It’s not 100%, but huge difference. Doing ceilings is a much more challenging piece of work. There’s a great video in attached link on how to achieve this https://www.soundproofingstore.co.uk/ceilings?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAh8OtBhCQARIsAIkWb6-sTFWJ7Qu698ObcGxfLzdT08BcKH0ZE7GxEnSR3FrT9MeX71CoP1saAltfEALw_wcB

How did you do the insulation on the party wall? I'd be interested in this.

I'd check your lease (if you own your flat). Quite often there are clauses regarding the use of carpet in upstairs flats. Might help you.

This is the best bet, but could make for a difficult conversation. Noise reducing plasterboard is an expensive waste of time and energy, tried it and could still wish a “bless you” when our neighbours sneezed at night, let alone the other occasional sounds. 🙈

    • I remember halfpennies. Farthings had gone by my time. 2/6 (half a crown) that looked very similar to 2s.

    • "They sold everyone, directly or indirectly, on the notion that Covid, the energy crisis and the war in Ukraine had nothing to do with the sorry state of the UK and that it was 14 years of Tory rule and Truss' nightmare budget that was the source of all the country's woes. " This simply isn't true. Global issues all play their own parts (as they do with other countries) but the UK govt had  been especially abject for years. Improvements could not be made with them in power. That's not to say everything is all roses when they go To claim parties shouldn't try and sell themselves in an election is absurd - but if labour did overpromise or dig into specifics (which they partly couldn't because they didn't have their hands on the books) then we live in a country where a population and media is happy to punch on them and relect the shabby last govt I mean if any argument I made was supported by some posters I would rethink it but thats just me
