Building Regulations: Approved Document E - Resistance to the passage of Sound

E1 Airborne sound (walls)
E2 Airborne sound (floors and stairs)
E3 Impact sound (floors and stairs)

Unwanted noise is a major complaint to local councils. Walls, ceilings, stairs and floors of a dwelling need to be constructed in a way which resists the transmission of airborne sound waves

Click on the book in the image below for an easy summary of the building regulations. This book is a must for those involved with any type of structural alteration. Even removing a wall in your home can require building regulation approval and with all home information available in Home Information Packs selling your home can be difficult if you do not have legal approval, where necessary, for work done on your house.

To preview the contents click on search this book.

Please be sure to check on the Government Planning Portal website for updates to any Building Regulations before commencing work.
