Soundproofing ceiling to stop noise from flat above...

[davver79]

Hi,

I've recently bought a new flat. It's a terrace converted into flats, I'm on the ground floor and am suffering from a lot of noise coming through from the flat above.

The worst area is my bedroom which is right below their kitchen, which sounds like it has wooden floorboards - so I hear walking, thudding, washing machine, pots and pans rattling when washing up, talking, stereo etc etc. I even hear them putting a cup down on the side! It sound every noise is being amplified somehow.

It's an old terrace house so I wouldn't have thought there was much insulation.


I'm unsure if this will do the job? My room is about 4m x 4m - I've had a quote from a builder of £1400 to do the job, but wanted to spend around £1000. Plus I'm not sure if I need a specialist to do the job?

Ideally I'd like a specialist to come round, listen to the noise and tell me exactly what I need to do! Does one of those exist?!

Thank you.
