Insulation

Soundproofing advice needed

Anonymous user 01/03/2024 - 2.47 PM

We moved into our Victorian terrace six months ago, and our new neighbours just moved in and are causing us some issues with sound. Like us, they have a toddler, but the Walls seem to be very thin as me and my husband are woken up every night by their child crying. We can also hear them walking about on their wooden floors and also talking sometimes. They have another child due and we can't stand the thought of endless sleepless nights. What steps could we take to soundproof our bedroom wall? Dont mind paying.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

If you dont mind losing a bit of size of the room then you could dot and dab some insulated plasterboard panels to the wall in question then skim it and decorate. Panels are usually 12.5mm board with 50mm foam on back then just dot and dab to wall. Or for even more sound proofing construct stud wall 4x2 then pack with sound proof roll and blue sound proof plasterboard not cheap but would certainly do the job. Best of luck.
