Hello,
I've just been quoted £950 to supply and install a 145mm thick soundproofing system on one of the walls in my terraced house, by a soundproofing specialist. The wall is approx 13 square metres.
This involves packing under the floor at the wall with soundproofing, creating a stud wall with soundproof mat, resilient bars, and two layers of heavyweight sound blocking plasterboard which will be sound sealed, taped and filled but not skimmed. It also involves the removal, trimming and re-fitting of things like skirting, picture and dado rails.
Looking up the materials myself I'm coming in the region of £500-£700. So, labour seems quite steep, but I'm not sure what the going rate for such a thing would be.
How does this sound to you? So far it's the cheapest and most in-depth solution I've been given from 3 companies, but I am open to opinions.
