What is Regulation E?
To combat the problems of noise pollution the government has introduced new soundproofing legislation. The new standards have been published in Approved Document-Part E of the Building Regulations "Resistance to the Passage of Sound", which came into effect in 2003.


The overall aim of the amendments to the regulations is to improve the sound insulation both between and within homes, as well as between rooms in hostels, hotels and residential homes.


Our aim at UK soundproofing is to simplify the regulation E process.

We understand that Regulation E continues to present problems to architects, specifiers and the local authorities on which is the right solution to install to achieve the regulations. The result is often "over specification", (specifiers are erring on the side of caution and adding too much material). This means that regulation E solutions are costing more than they should and that there is often far more floor height build up than there should be. Rest assured all our solutions aim for compliance at the lowest cost.
