Quietco Reviews, Carol and Paul’s Soundproofing Story

Quietco Reviews From Real Customers

When you are trusting a company to soundproof your home, honest Quietco reviews from people who have actually had the work done matter more than any sales pitch. So we will let two of our clients, Carol and Paul, tell you about their experience in their own words.

Their situation will sound familiar to a lot of people. They were not dealing with malicious neighbours, just inconsiderate, everyday noise, scraping chairs, banging skirting boards and children running around, random and disruptive rather than deliberate, and it was wearing them down. This is the story of what they did about it, and what working with Quietco was really like.

Move House, or Soundproof?

Like many people worn down by noise, Carol and Paul first decided to move. Noise is one of the biggest reasons people fall out with neighbours and start house hunting, and a Rightmove survey found that avoiding neighbour disputes is a top priority for most people when choosing a new home.

But when they drew up their list, they realised they loved the house they were in. They liked the area, the size, and the fact that they had finally made it exactly how they wanted it, and everywhere else they looked meant a compromise. So they made a different decision: stay in the home they loved, and fix the noise instead.

Why They Chose Quietco

Paul did the research, partly because Carol was not convinced any soundproofing would actually work. He spoke to several companies, and most gave the same generic response, quoting on the size of the room rather than the problem in it.

Quietco was different. As Paul put it, we asked the right questions, what is the problem, and what type of noise are you hearing, and tailored the solution to their home rather than reaching for a standard package. That tailored, diagnostic approach is the heart of our four step method, and it is why they felt confident going ahead.

Disruption You Barely Notice

One of the things Carol and Paul valued most was how little they had to deal with. We emptied the rooms, carried out the work, then put everything back, skirting boards, painting, furniture, so the only real change to their routine was being unable to fully use a couple of rooms for a few weeks.

In Paul’s words, you could hand over the keys, come back a fortnight later, and struggle to see anything had changed at all. That full, done for you service is exactly how we prefer to work, and you can read more about our approach if you like the sound of it.

Did the Soundproofing Work?

This is the part that matters, and Carol, the original sceptic, answered it best. She said she had been absolutely amazed at how much better it was, having been sure it would never work.

The home is simply a more pleasant place to be now. There is no more stress, no more listening out and waiting for the next noise, and the little sound that does come through feels distant, not like someone is in the room with you. They would recommend us to anyone, and in fact already had, even before their own work was finished.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do Quietco reviews say about the results?

Clients like Carol and Paul describe their homes becoming much more pleasant to live in, with the noise either gone or reduced to a distant sound, and even a sceptic in the household won over.

Why did Carol and Paul choose Quietco over other companies?

Because we focused on their actual noise problem rather than just the size of the room, and tailored the solution to their home, which the other companies they spoke to did not do.

Is soundproofing better than moving house?

For many people, yes. Carol and Paul realised they loved their home and that moving meant compromise, so soundproofing let them stay where they wanted to be.

How disruptive is the work?

Less than most people expect. We empty the rooms, do the work and put everything back, so for the homeowner it mostly means not being able to fully use a few rooms for a couple of weeks.
