This specialist division comprises dedicated acoustics staff with the technical knowledge, resources and expertise to enable a truly comprehensive service to be offered nationwide.

Recent changes to the Building Regulations have led to sound insulation testing becoming mandatory in most cases throughout residential developments.  As such you may well have been requested to carry out sound testing by Building Control.

As holders of UKAS accreditation, HRS Services are deemed competent to carry out sound insulation testing in accordance with Approved Document E to the Building Regulations, thus satisfying LABC and "Code for Sustainable Homes" requirements.

A recent addition to Approved Document E of The Building Regulations has been the inclusion of a requirement stipulating that acoustics shall be incorporated into the design of schools. 

The design guide, Building Bulletin 93 Acoustic Design of Schools (BB93) provides a regulatory framework for the acoustic design of schools in support of Approved Document E to The Building Regulations.

Our sound insulation testing service is built around customer satisfaction, specifically in terms of speed, flexibility and quality.  This is ensured by having a large in-house team of fully trained test-engineers available using equipment at the forefront of technology.
