How we can support you

Sound Insulation Testing

Testing to verify airborne and impact sound insulation performance in completed or near-completed buildings.

What we provide

  • Airborne sound insulation testing
  • Impact sound insulation testing
  • Testing to support TGD Part E requirements
  • Verification against project acoustic criteria
  • Investigation of unexpected or failed results
  • Retesting following remedial works

Room Acoustics Testing

Measurements to verify reverberation and room acoustic performance against the design requirements for the space.

What we provide

  • Reverberation time measurements
  • Verification against project acoustic criteria
  • Testing of teaching, meeting and occupied spaces
  • Assessment of room acoustic performance
  • Investigation of performance issues
  • Practical recommendations where improvement is required

Building Services & Completion Testing

Testing to confirm that completed buildings and building services achieve the required acoustic performance.

What we provide

  • Building services noise measurements
  • Internal ambient noise measurements
  • Plant and equipment noise testing
  • Completion and commissioning testing
  • Verification against project specifications
  • Investigation and advice where criteria are not achieved

Clear results and practical next steps

We agree the test requirements and assessment criteria before attending site, so the measurements are focused on the performance that needs to be verified.

Our engineers carry out the appropriate tests, assess the results against the relevant standards or project criteria and explain clearly whether the required performance has been achieved.

Where a result falls short, Allegro Acoustics can help investigate the likely cause, review the construction or design details and provide practical advice on remedial measures and retesting.

What’s included

  • Test scope and criteria agreed before attending site
  • Qualified acoustic engineers, members of the Institute of Acoustics (IOA)
  • Calibrated professional instrumentation
  • Testing to the appropriate standards and project criteria
  • Clear technical reporting
  • Identification of performance issues where relevant
  • Practical recommendations and retesting support where required
  • Testing and reporting to support BREEAM, LEED and similar building certification schemes

How it works

01

Send us the requirement

Tell us briefly about the project and what needs to be tested. If you have an acoustic specification, drawings, test criteria or previous results, let us know.

02

We define the testing

One of our acoustic engineers reviews the requirement and confirms the appropriate test method, locations and assessment criteria.

03

We carry out the testing

Testing is completed using calibrated instrumentation and the standards and guidance appropriate to the assessment, including ISO 16283, ISO 717 and ISO 3382 where applicable.

04

You receive clear results

We assess the findings against the relevant criteria and provide a clear report confirming the measured performance, with practical recommendations where further action is required.
