Find the Right Ceiling Soundproofing System
Hearing footsteps, voices or television from upstairs? The right ceiling treatment depends on the noise, the existing construction and how much ceiling height you can spare.
We install Independent Ceiling, GenieClip RST, GenieClip LB3 & Resilient Bar systems. We’ll assess your property and explain the options, including the work involved, expected height loss and realistic improvements.
Independent Ceiling Soundproofing
An independent ceiling uses a new supporting framework beneath the existing ceiling to reduce direct connections with the floor above. Acoustic mineral wool and layers of soundproofing board form part of the complete system.
This option is worth considering where reducing noise from upstairs is a priority and there is room to lower the ceiling. The required depth depends on the room span, construction and chosen specification.
We’ll assess suitability and explain the proposed ceiling height before installation.
GenieClip RST Ceiling Soundproofing
The GenieClip RST system uses acoustic isolation clips and metal furring channels to support a new ceiling lining beneath the existing joists. The clips reduce the transfer of vibration into the new lining, while acoustic insulation and layers of soundproofing board complete the system.
It’s an option for tackling voices, television and footsteps from upstairs. The installation method and finished ceiling height depend on the existing construction and the specified materials.
We’ll assess your ceiling and explain whether RST is suitable, including whether the existing ceiling needs to be removed. Results also depend on sound travelling through adjoining walls and other parts of the building.
GenieClip LB3 Ceiling Soundproofing
The GenieClip LB3 system is an option where preserving ceiling height is a priority. Brackets fixed to the sides of the existing joists support isolated metal channels and a new ceiling lining.
For this installation, we remove the existing ceiling boards to access the joists, fit acoustic mineral wool within the cavity and install the specified layers of soundproofing board.
The finished ceiling level depends on the joist layout, services and chosen board layers. We’ll assess these before recommending the system and explain the expected height loss and disruption involved.
Resilient Bar Ceiling Soundproofing
This system combines RW3 Rockwool acoustic insulation between the ceiling joists with resilient bars and acoustic plasterboard. The bars provide a flexible connection between the joists and the new ceiling lining, helping to reduce vibration transfer.
Optional upgrades include Tecsound acoustic membrane and SP15 Soundboard, incorporated into a suitable ceiling specification. We’ll recommend the combination based on your noise concerns, the existing construction and the load capacity of the supporting system.
We’ll also explain whether the existing ceiling needs removing and how much height the proposed system will take.

Ceiling Soundproofing FAQs
Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about Ceiling soundproofing systems, materials, and installation.
Can ceiling soundproofing reduce footsteps and voices from upstairs?
A suitable ceiling system can reduce airborne noise, such as voices and television, and help reduce impact noise from footsteps. The improvement depends on the existing construction and sound travelling through adjoining walls and other structural connections. We’ll explain realistic expectations for your property.
How much ceiling height will I lose?
This depends on the system, joist layout and board specification. Some systems fit partly between the existing joists, while an independent ceiling needs space for a separate framework. We’ll confirm the proposed finished ceiling level before work begins.
Does my existing ceiling need to be removed?
Some installations require the existing ceiling boards to be removed to access the joists and fit acoustic insulation. Others may allow the existing ceiling to remain. We’ll explain what your proposed system involves, including preparation, disruption and finishing.
Do you need access to the flat or room above?
Many ceiling treatments can be installed entirely from the room below. Where access upstairs is possible, treating the floor above may also help, particularly with impact noise. We’ll discuss the options available for your property.
How much does ceiling soundproofing cost?
The cost depends on the ceiling area, chosen system, existing construction and any removal or finishing work required. Send us your room dimensions, photographs and a description of the noise for an initial discussion and a tailored quotation.
