Soundproofing in Reading: Homeowners vs Renters

If you own your home, you can usually go ahead with soundproofing, but keep receipts and documentation, especially if you’re making structural changes. A professional soundproofing company can advise if planning permission or building regs are relevant (rare for internal work, but possible).

If you rent, start by speaking with your landlord or letting agent. They’ll need to approve any work, and in some cases may choose to manage the project directly. You may still be able to reduce noise using non-invasive solutions like acoustic panels or soundproof curtains. Check with residential soundproofing contractors near you for advice that fits your lease.
