“Developing a mixed use property I required both sound testing and a design solution to ensure that the walls were suitably sound proofed. Straight off the bat Andy was very informative over the phone, explaining what was all new to me, very clearly. Noise control is a part of the refurbishment we had to get right and it was never in doubt. He has been very supportive throughout. Highly recommended.”

Ben McConville

"Top drawer. Noise Control Solutions came and did an audit for us on our meeting rooms as they had an echo that was affecting the quality of client conference calls. The report and solutions we received were fantastic. Well above and beyond what was expected. Would not hesitate to recommend NCS, great service."

Michael Ashworth

"Andy and his guys at NCSL were fantastic. I couldn't have asked for more. They organised the acoustics testing and provided all correct information for the council as part of a planning application. Andy even contacted and communicated with council officials on my behalf sorting everything out. On top of all this help and support, that I thought was above what they have to do was the price too. Incredibly competitive. If I need any further help I would not hesitate. Highly recommended. Thanks for all your help guys. Greg Hodgkinson Funeral Director, Garstang, Preston."
