Just had a soundproofing job completed by Darrin at DHP soundproofing services and are very happy with all aspects of the job from start to finish. Darrin and his team were very professional and my wife and I are extremely happy with the results.

Highly recommended
We live in a Victorian terraced house and were getting allot of noise through the party wall in our kitchen diner: footsteps, raised voices, cupboard doors and appliances. Darrin advised us about the different types of soundproofing and what results we could expect from them. He put in an independent wall with acoustic plasterboard and membrane and it has made a real difference. We can enjoy sitting in our dining room without the neighbours lives intruding on ours. We can’t hear voices and the loud impact noises have been reduced into the background. It’s much less stressful. I only wish we could have got it done sooner.

Could not thank DHP Sound Proofing enough. In our main bedroom we were suffering from noise from the next door neighbours. Darrin and his team installed soundproofing to both the party wall and bedroom flooring. We are that impressed with the significant reduction in noise level (no noise) we have booked Darrin to also complete the same works in our other bedroom with shared party wall.

Thank you,

Clare

Excellent sound proofing
Hi,
I had some work done by DHP Sound Proofing recently in my guest house on walls between bedrooms, i was given very accurate and honest advice by Darren the owner and when they came to do the work it was carried out to a very high and professional standard, highly recommend these to anyone looking for this kind of work done and the results are superb, i will be getting them back without hesitation for more work when the finances allow.

Bedroom wall soundproofed

Used DHP Soundproofing who fitted some soundproofing solutions to a party wall in a bedroom. I could hear loud talking/shouting travelling up from next doors front room, darrin came out explained the options and gave a reasonable quote and carried out the work the next week.
There is now no noise in our bedroom, we’re very happy with the result. The place was left clean and in the exact way it was before the work and the plastering was also to a good standard.
I’m going to get them back for further work.
Would definitely recommend.

Sound block walls
Darrin and co soundproofed one of the party walls, bedroom. The neighbours leave their TV on all night, and I’d had disturbed sleep for months. I opted for the enhanced solution with additional high density layer . . think it was called TecSound? Since having the work done I rarely hear any noise from next door and sleep really well. Darrin did an awesome job; wall looks perfect and the area was tidied up afterwards. The plasterer did a great job too. I’m really happy with the quality of the work, and the overall result.

I recently had my living room wall soundproofed by Darrin. The work was completed very quickly with no mess left when it was finished. The wall was replastered to a very high standard. I’m very pleased with the reduction in noise in the room, I now only hear muffled noises occasionally as opposed to constant loud noise. Overall I’m very happy with the work and the results.

Hi, Darrin and his team did an amazing job soundproofing my main living room party wall alcoves. He provided a very accurate online estimate but made sure he visited the property before a final price was agreed. He talked mdd we through everything that would be done so there were no surprises. On the day the work was carried out he worked efficiently and my house was left immaculate once he was done. I cannot recommend him highly enough and I thought the price I paid was very reasonable for the high quality materials he used. Should I require further work completed in other rooms I will not hesitate to go to Darrin again.

I found DHP Soundproofing to be an incredibly professional company to choose for soundproofing my recording studio. They were very communicative and able to give me a clear and easy to understand quote for the work they would undertake. From start to finish, their communication was excellent and it was clear to see that they are very experienced and knowledgeable in their work. The soundproofing in the studio has been very successful, and completed up to a professional standard, and I would certainly recommend DHP to anyone who is thinking about getting any sound reduction work completed in their home or business.

Good day to everyone, this is a small note regarding works I have had carried out at my property by DHP Soundproofing, The work entailed fitting new sound block ceilings in my downstairs flat, as I was working through the day I gave keys to the owner Darrin and I was I bit apprehensive in doing so but as it turned out without any cause, all works were carried out as I was promised and to a superb standard, my flat was left clean and tidy every day and on completion was cleaned and vacuumed. Superb company and would recommend to anyone.

Had some work done by this company this year and it was carried out very professionally and to a good standard , although the results were good it did not block out the sound from next door completely but in the companies defence I was told by the owner Darrin that this may be the case as all properties are different and some work better than others, on the whole the work was done very well and we are happy with this company.

Good Morning,
We had our living room wall soundproofed because of noisy neighbours by DHP soundproofing in April 2010 and the results were excellent , the noise has been reduced dramatically and both myself and my wife can finally get some piece .
I have no hesitation in recommending DHP to everyone and in particular the person who runs things Darrin he is very honest and helpful.

Mr & Mrs Douglas

I found this company when I was looking for some soundproofing work done on the internet, I had been warned that soundproofing was very un reliable and was a bit apprehensive , After speaking to the owner Darrin we decided to go ahead and have the work done and both myself and my team are very happy with the results, Darrin told us that results do differ from property to property and gave excellent advice on how to achieve the best results possible and although it was not exactly what we had planned to do I have to say he was correct as the results proved .

This company come with the highest recommendation I can give and the owner Darrin is so helpful and gives great advice, I believe that without his advice this development would have been a bit of a disaster.

Darrin showed a great deal of knowledge and understanding assessing our needs for soundproofing out garage room into a room suitable for our son to play drums in and offered a range of suggestions. When we agreed the work he arrived promptly and worked incredibly hard to get the work done, showing all he was doing along the way, doing everything from preparation, all the work, arranging glaziers to come in and getting the walls plastered at the end. The materials used and the finished work was of a really high standard and the difference in the amount of sound coming out into the street when he’s drumming is amazing. If I need any similar work doing I’d definitely ask DHP back and would recommend them to anyone wanting similar work doing.

John Gardner

DHP Soundproofing carried out some work for me soundproofing some party walls in March 2011 and the results were excellent, Mr Pate the owner of the company helped me very much as I was nervous about having the work done, both himself and his workers are very well mannered and keep the place clean and tidy both during and after the work is completed, without any doubt at all I would recommend this company to all who require soundproofing work. Regards. Sandra Taylor Grange ave , Shiremoor This is a recommendation for a company who supplied and fitted acoustic doors to my property, The work was carried out both on schedule and in a very competent manor and the results were exactly as I was told they would be, special thanks to the guy who runs the company for all his advice and help along the way.

I  have had work done on party walls as new neighbors had moved in next door with 4 children so asked Darrin to give me an estimate,as i was happy about the price he went ahead and did the work in 4 days on three walls and the effect was great, all tidy after he had finished.  Since then my son who lives in a downstairs flat also had new neighbors and the same problem so with no hesitation contacted Darrin again, he has just finished soundproofing three ceilings for him.

I had 2 walls soundproofed by this company and have to say I am gob smacked at the results, the owner Darrin offers a great service and is extremely well organised in his work, always turns up on time and does exactly as he promises, when the work was completed the premises was left a very clean and tidy condition and as I said the results were superb no noise at all from next door I am so delighted highly recommend this company.

Hi we were getting a lot of noise travelling through the walls from the next doors kids and tv noise also shouting and doors banging, DHP installed the sound block system to all the party walls with outstanding results, very professional installation team always clean and tidy and all completed in a few days, highly recommend this company.

D Douglass

I used this company for an issue we had with sound travelling through a ceiling office area, service and advise was very professional and honest from the owner Darrin.
The work was done out of office hours so as not to hinder the day to day running of the office and the improvement is exactly what Darrin said it would be, a lot better but never going to block everything in a structure of this nature.

Honest trustworthy company.

I recently had some work carried out by DHP Soundproofing and the results were fantastic. All the work was carried out on time and a very professional manner. When the job was completed they tidied everything leaving it spotless. The resulting effect of the work was more than i could have hoped for. I would recommend their services to anyone without any hesitation

D Flanagan

Darrin was one of three people I spoke to when I first started looking into sound mitigation in my bar, and he was the only one who spoke honestly and realistically about what we could and couldn’t achieve, and reacted quickly and within my schedule.
Rather than bombarding me with science, Darrin explained the various options in a way I could understand. We decided to try a three stage mitigation strategy, which resulted in us only needing to do the first two stages, resulting in a hefty cost-saving whilst achieving the outcome I needed.
A quote I had from another company was ten times what Darrin charged me, so I was incredibly pleased with the service Darrin provided.
Great value for money, a friendly and honest tradesman, and I will be using him again. Thanks!

Rachael Frame Tiger Hornsby

I contacted DHP Soundproofing after suffering in silence for years from noise next door, I was visited by the owner of the company Darrin and he advised as to what could be done to help my situation, his advice was clear and very honest pointing out the possible pit falls. we agreed a price and a date for the work to be carried out.

Darrin arrived on the date agreed with his work force and the work was done to a superb standard, very tidy and kept to a clean standard and on completion my house was left neat and tidy.

The results are fantastic and although at times I still here a tiny bit of noise the improvement is fantastic.

I cannot thank Darrin enough for all his help and would highly recommend this company to anyone.

Jo White

Darrin and his team have done two jobs for our company – one involved soundproofing 5 consultation rooms and the other was converting two small rooms into a single room and laying some safety flooring. Both jobs were done outside of working hours to minimise disruption to our business and the work was completed quickly, efficiently and and professionally. I would be happy to recommend Darrin and his team to anyone who needs any joinery work or soundproofing done.”

Cheers,

Robin

The wall has made such a difference, we can still hear the neighbours when their really loud but no where near as loud as before and the day to day voices and TV we don’t hear anymore, it’s fantastic being able to watch TV without listening to the their conversation, injecting the floor in the kids bedroom hasn’t really made much of a difference so we will be in touch sometime later this year to have a wall put up, thanks for all your help and honesty about the results we would get.

Helen

 

The sound proofing has made a tremendous difference, it’s like living in a padded cell.It is as if there is no-one next door. Strange result is that sound coming from our kitchen seems amplified as it bounces back off the new sound proofing. The living room is so much quieter. We can still here the sliding doors next door but I think that was expected.

You have done a super job and it was well worth the effort it has made such a difference.

A very satisfied customer.

Thanks again

Good Morning,
This is a message to recommend DHP Soundproofing as an acoustic installer, we tried for ages to find someone to help us out with noise travelling about suspended ceilings in our offices and eventually got help from Darrin the owner, his advice for very helpful and honest he told us there are only so many things that can be done but with his help and the work he carried out with his team the results are very good and much much better than before the work took place.

Would have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone highly professional.

R Scheffers

We contracted DHP sound proofing to carry out some work on our party walls, Darren was so helpful and honest when he said the results can be different from property to property, the installation went very smoothly and the workers turned up on time and it was completed as we were promised in 4 days, the workforce were very clean and tidy and we are very impressed with the results the noise levels are massively reduced in fact you can hardly hear anything, I would have no hesitation in recommending DHP to anyone.

D Howardson

Had some domestic work done by DHP and the result’s were very good and exactly what I was told would be the results, the sound levels have dropped a lot to tolerable levels and I am very pleased with the results, I was told by the owner Darrin that there was always the chance of what is called a sound bleed which can come from anywhere and I totally appreciated his honesty as I had a few companies out who promised the world. excellent workmanship and organisation highly recommended.

J Stone 

Was very impressed with the soundproofing service provided. Darrin spent time explaining the process and discussing the best options for my room, which had a slightly awkward lay out. Was advised on the likely improvement but realistic expectations given. The sound from my neighbours’ TV has significantly reduced and it has been a vast improvement. Some low level noise can still be heard but overall very happy with the outcome. Many thanks’

Thanks,

Hannah

Professional, friendly service

After a wild goose chase trying to get some soundproofing work done to our house, we contacted DHP.

It was a refreshing change to get an answer straight away. Darrin gave us an approximate quote for two different solutions and then followed up with a quick site visit.

He explained both options and confirmed the quote – no hidden extras or add ons. We were then given a date and duration for the work to be carried out.

Darrin and his team arrived on time on both days and carried out the work to schedule, on budget and with very little disruption. After each day our house was left habitable and tidy. The workmanship is excellent and we are very happy with the results. The professionalism and expertise shown by DHP – including excellent communications, keeping us update at every stage – was first class.

At a time when it’s hard to find people who will do what they say, when they say they’ll do it – I found DHP an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Highly recommended

I have recently had work done by DHP Soundproofing and wanted to take the time to highlight what a positive experience this was from beginning to end resulting in a successful outcome and one happy customer.

I am a musician and live in a terraced house where for a long time now I have been conscious of the noise that not only affects my neighbours but the noise that can be heard on the street outside my property.

I sort the advice of a number of companies but it became apparent early on that Darrin was extremely knowledgeable and knew what he was talking about. The advice given was professional and honest. Darrin listened to what I wanted and created/tailored this to my needs.

I was extremely impressed by the pace and efficiency in which the work was carried out. He was organised, tidy and work was completed to a high standard.

I can now practice to my hearts content with absolute peace of mind. I am really thrilled with the results. It was worth every penny and I would have no hesitation in recommending this company to people.

Julie McNaughton

After living in a detached property for five years, my family and I moved into a 1930s semi-detached house to be closer to amenities and better schools for our children. My wife and I were both shocked by how much neighbour noise we could hear through the party wall: clear conversations, TV noise to the point where we knew what next door were watching, coughs, laughs etc. This could be heard in our adjoining living room and worst of all upstairs in our bedroom from our neighbours in their living room!

We looked into soundproofing. We attempted to soundproof the living room alcoves with soundboards purchased from an internet company. This didn’t work! In attempt to get some peace in our bedroom, I contacted Darrin. He turned up on time and advised on different options. We went for an independent wall with extra insulation between two layers of soundbloc plasterboard as well as insulating the floor.

The work was carried out as planned and completed to a high standard. Darrin always turned up on time and our house was left tidy during the process. He is a skilled and knowledgeable tradesman.

The results were mixed. The independent wall succeeded in blocking any conversation (talking, laughing etc) that we could hear from our neighbours downstairs. However, although the TV noise was reduced, it was still present. Darrin kindly tried some more options that further improved the situation albeit only slightly.

We later realised that the problem was/is our bay window area which is completely hollow. It seems that due to the positioning of our neighbour’s TV, sound is getting into the bay window cavity and reverberating throughout the whole house which is why the independent wall we had fitted on the party wall upstairs wasn’t as effective in blocking the TV noise as it was the conversation.

Over the last 6 months, I’ve learned a lot about soundproofing. My advice to anyone looking to invest in it would be to thoroughly investigate where the sound is coming from and to have realistic expectations of the results. Having said all of that, if you do decide to have the work done then go with a professional like Darrin. He will do everything he can to get the best results possible.

Dear Future Customers

We decided to get soundproofing because we were struggling to relax in our own home due to having noisy neighbours who have young children who scream and shout at all hours of the day and night. They are so loud that you would think that they were in the living room with you as you were trying to watch TV. We chose DHP soundproofing based on all of the positive reviews and the high quality of the finished product shown in the previous work photos. We are extremely happy that we chose DHP soundproofing as there is now no noise at all coming through the walls from our neighbours. It is unbelievable how quiet it is in our home, we feel like we have our lives back and we can come home from work and relax. The quality of the finished job is superb, you would never know that the new wall had never been there before., we fully recommend this to anyone who is suffering from noise pollution in their homes.
