Their insights into soundtransmission within a block of flats was revealing. Didn't realise sound transmission is so complex and straight forward at the same time. James and Russ provided terrific detailed advice how to reduce sound transmission within my flat. Also, their knowledge on Part E building regulations is second to none. Must go place if you have any noise transmission issues.

Review Date:
James and his team were patient, helpful and honestly didn’t push a hard sell at all, or recommend any service that was not needed. We were buying our first property and knew energy costs were soaring and sought to insulate before we moved in and somehow on a timeline that was inherently uncertain.

James inspected before we exchanged, gave clear quotes and what to expect on timing. The work was clear and timely,

Here are the results a year later
- the house is cosy
- we spent roughly 1/2 what we did the year before despite growing energy costs
- payback within 1.5 years (almost there)
- potentially lowering our epc rating and thus mortgage costs and also increasing value of our property.

Great decision all around. Thanks James

All Trades were professional, reliable and good to work with.

The work was completed yesterday and is to our satisfaction. All Trades were professional, reliable and good to work with.

Best wishes

Rev F. Macdonald, Edinburgh

Worth every penny and more!

Hi James, well overdue but time for feedback on the insulation. Process of putting it in was very good, team was good. After several months now I am blown away at the difference the insulation has made. Whatever the weather, the garage always feels dry and warm, never hot.

Nothing goes rusty and I no longer need to protect things from damp or dust. Worth every penny and more!

Glyn, Nantwich

Very happy with Metropolitan Insulation - highly recommend them.

When moving to a new flat we needed to sound proof it. James and his team, unlike other sound proofing companies, did not try to make us do useless things and make us pay as much as possible. Instead, they quickly identified the source of the issue and fixed it in a timely manner.

Tess Mesnard de Chal

The guys tidied up afterwards and we're done in 2 hrs. Great job. It has warmed the room up when the temperature drops outside.

I approached MIS to better insulate the eaves of our new roof extension and seal draughty spots. I paid for 35 sqm of spray foam which was easily enough.

On the day of the installation The guys were polite, quick and did the job they were asked to do. Gary gave us some professional opinion and advice on how to best improve the thermal efficiency of the room and seemed to deliver on that, wasn't anywhere like as intrusive as I'd thought. The guys tidied up afterwards and we're done in 2 hrs. Great job. It has warmed the room up when the temperature drops outside.

I will recommend Metropolitan Insulation.

They went through the various option available before we went ahead with the work.

Used MIS to insulate a very cold and damp back bedroom. They went through the various option available before we went ahead with the work. Insulation board installed on the large external wall and ceiling and it's made a huge difference.

Daniel Stevens

The price is right and the work looks brilliant.

James and the Metropolitan Insulation team have been extremely helpful. I overheard a conversation James was having in my shop and afterwards I enquired about his business. I am so glad i did! The work was completed within a couple of weeks of meeting him. The team are very honest, helpful and communicative. The price is right and the work looks brilliant. After one day my flat is already so much warmer and comfortable! Highly recommended. Thanks Metropolitan!

Michael Bentley

From the very beginning James and his team were so helpful, professional and honest.

James and his team came to install soundproofing into our floors to reduce the noise from the pub downstairs. From the very beginning James and his team were so helpful, professional and honest. Everyone provided reassurance and updates as work was being completed. The final finish is excellent and I'm enjoying the peace and quiet. Thank you Metropolitan Insulation Services!

Banafsheh

Happy to have gotten hold of them and would highly recommend.

I couldn't play my grand piano because of complaining neighbours, then I decided to soundproof my study and move the piano in there. After sending out a few enquires, Metropolitan Insulation was quick to respond and after a site visit, James came up with a very reasonable quotation within my budget and arranged a date for the works. It went ahead according to schedule, the work was neat and the team was able to adapt to user requirements and site constraints. Still waiting to move the grand piano in there but I tested it out with a digital piano, there was very marked improvement which should be enough to solve the problem. Happy to have gotten hold of them and would highly recommend.

Gaspard at the Piano

James team was on time, did a thorough job, we are very happy with the results and it was very much reasonably priced.

Metropolitan Insulation helped out when we had a short timeframe and we needed help to soundproof quickly. James came to give the quote with short notice and booked in the job 2 weeks later. James team was on time, did a thorough job, we are very happy with the results and it was very much reasonably priced. Would highly recommend!

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend James and his team, in fact, we are using this company for more partitioning work!

A superb company to deal with. James was very efficient measuring up for the quote and checking throughout how the job was going and then his team were the perfect tradesmen - arriving early to get the job done, tidying up at the end of each day, very polite - and to top it all did a perfect job! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend James and his team, in fact, we are using this company for more partitioning work!

Julia Dowell-Lee

If you’re looking for soundproof doors I can highly recommend getting in touch with James Barker at Metropolitan Insulation.

I needed some soundproof doors for my therapy practice, James and Phil provided exactly what I needed. The lead time was short and the team were really helpful and did a great job fitting the doors without any mess. The result is a huge improvement in noise reduction and I hope to soon have them back to do the rest of the doors. If you’re looking for soundproof doors I can highly recommend getting in touch with James Barker at Metropolitan Insulation.

Victoria Shalet

James a pleasure to work with you.

James and his team, did a complete soundproofing job for one of my properties, to help my tenants from complaints of noise from the flat below, James managed to fit the whole job in just before Christmas, I am pleased to say the job went well, and now every one is happy in a much quieter flat. James a pleasure to work with you.

Zac Lewis

The workmanship and advice has always been first-rate. We are very happy with the service we have received

Metropolitan Insulation have carried out three separate renovations for us. They carried out the installation of a series of fire doors for acoustic separation. Then recently the installation of a soundproof ceiling in a two bedroom basement flat, and also the injection of acoustic insulation into the cavity walls. The workmanship and advice has always been first-rate. We are very happy with the service we have received. I recommend them.

Jody Jenkins

Brilliant job insulating and was happy that the cost

Took a little while to get in their busy schedule but it was worth the wait, brilliant job insulating and was happy that the cost was more reasonable than PIR insulating the job.

Martin Southwood

I am really grateful to James for fitting this in between other contracts - delighted!

Josh and James of Metropolitan have just improved the whole quality of my life! I had a real problem with an incredibly noisy Saniflo macerating bathroom pump in my eaves, directly above my bedroom. It was a challenge because the pump could not be raised in height at all yet needed significant acoustic layering beneath it. Josh worked incredibly hard all day and came up with a brilliant solution still ensuring the pump worked perfectly.

Silence in my bedroom and beyond now. I no longer want to throttle my lodger and I literally cannot believe my ears! I am really grateful to James for fitting this in between other contracts - delighted!

Brigitte Wills

The installation was carried out to a high quality by staff who showed pride in their work

The new acoustic door is a huge improvement. Helpful and efficient company.

I live in a ground floor flat and could hear my upstairs neighbours loud and clear when they came in and out of the communal entrance. The new acoustic door is a huge improvement. Helpful and efficient company.

James and Gary done an excellent job down on a pontoon, that is the docking station for the Clipper, due to the nature of this project it was not an easy install to undertake.

Chris Newton

I'm a very happy customer!

Really good experience with Metropolitan Insulation. Had been calling everywhere for a sound proof door to be fitted asap. Metropolitan responded quickly, gave me a competitive quote (less than everywhere else I had tried) and turned up in a few days to measure up. The door was fitted as agreed two weeks later and it is very effective. I'm a very happy customer!

Jo Mallabar

The team of 3 guys managed to do 8 x roofs in 3 days, working until at least 10pm each night.

We have just had all of our suitable lofts on site insulated, old slate roofs with no breather membrane in often difficult to access loft spaces (some very small hatches) but the team of 3 guys managed to do 8 x roofs in 3 days, working until at least 10pm each night.

Ben Robinson

After 2 days work we are looking forward to a warmer house and secure roof structure.

From the quote, through agreeing the contract, organising the work to be undertaken and completion of the work we are very happy with the quality and professionalism of the service provided. To protect our roof and to provide insulation for our Georgian 5 Bedroom house we have had a closed cell spray applied in the loft. After 2 days work we are looking forward to a warmer house and secure roof structure.

Michael Dolan

Very happy with the quality of work carried out!

Would highly recommend metropolitan insulation as they are very professional and knowledgeable. We got acoustic ceilings installed as the residents in the flat upstairs were very noisy due to their laminate flooring and now can safely say the new ceilings have worked a treat! Very happy with the quality of work carried out!

Catriona Blair

I would recommend them for this if you need it doing.

I had a 20ft shipping container insulated, the 2 lads that came to do it where nice and did a great neat and tidy job of it. I would recommend them for this if you need it doing.

Dave Leigh

Work was done professionally and the company was easy to communicate with. Overall very pleased.

Recently had 4 corporate meeting rooms sound proofed by Metropolitan. From the beginning of the process they have been knowledgable and helpful. The work they have done has really improved the sound insulation and everyone comments on the vast improvement. Work was done professionally and the company was easy to communicate with. Overall very pleased.

James White

The property was left in a very clean condition. Thank you

Due to the neighbour above our flat in Scarborough fitting wooden floors and having 3 yappy dogs we had all the ceilings insulated by Metropolitan Insulation. It has made a big difference to the noise level and the work was carried out efficiently. The property was left in a very clean condition. Thank you

Friendly reliable people to deal with. A fast and efficient installation. I believe in the product and I think my house will feel much warmer this wintertime. Many thanks

Chris Roe

I was very impressed with the professional way they did the job and I would have no hesitation in recommending this company

The two man crew came on time and were very courteous and friendly they explained what they were going to do and asked if we had any questions, all floors were covered and taped so there was no mess, the job took approximately 5 hours to complete and they tidied up after themselves insisting that they hovered up as well. I was very impressed with the professional way they did the job and I would have no hesitation in recommending this company if you need insulation. Many thanks, Metropolitan Insulation.

Paul Franks

Amazing service, reliable and good staff

Shaun Nichols

"The survey was completed promptly and the standard of the work on the day was first class."

From the first contact, until work completion, we have been impressed with the professional service we have received. The survey was completed promptly and the standard of the work on the day was first class.

"My loft is now perfectly insulated and the heat loss cut down completely and I am looking forward to not only being warm this winter but also having lower fuel bills."

I wanted to write to thank you for the excellent service you have given me.

When you mentioned about the EU subsidy for insulation I realised it was time to act and i did quickly and you managed to move equally quickly. Within days of me asking about getting insulation for my loft you come and inspected and gave me a price and the job was then completed without any problems or mess within a shorter timescale than you originally quoted, less than 3 weeks from beginning to end.

My loft is now perfectly insulated and the heat loss cut down completely and I am looking forward to not only being warm this winter but also having lower fuel bills.

I would not hesitate to recommend you and your company to anyone who needs insulation and you are a pleasure to deal with.

Thank you again.

Gillian

"I will gladly give you the highest rating possible if anyone should enquire"

Hi James, the boys have completely finished tonight and what a beautiful job! I just want to sincerely thank you, Chris and Thomas for all the hard work and dedication. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you all. I will gladly give you the highest rating possible if anyone should enquire. Thank you so much again.

Very best regards,

Glenn Belcher, Uxbridge

"Both have produced very noticeable improvements in noise transmission making all the rooms completely usable and much better places to live"

I am writing to say how satisfied I am with the two soundproofing projects you specified, planned and implemented for me at Holmdale in Hale and Hoffman Square in London. Both have produced very noticeable improvements in noise transmission making all the rooms completely usable and much better places to live. The survey was rapidly arranged and very efficiently carried out.

The installations started as scheduled and were completed in less time than we expected. The installation teams created no mess or disturbance of any sort and left both sets of premises spotless. I would not hesitate to recommend `Metropolitan` to anyone with a noise transmission problem.

Yours sincerely,

David Moran

"From start to finish they provided excellent support, method statements and technical information"

When we needed to strip down the old digester tanks at our water treatment plant in Lancashire, we contacted our civil engineers William Pye Ltd .They sourced Metropolitan Insulation Services.

Metropolitan Insulation Services was able to act quickly and efficiently but probably, and most importantly, within our budget timescales.

From start to finish they provided excellent support, method statements and technical information. Without doubt we can recommend them on the basis of their professionalism and information. As our site stock is coming to a time of renewal we shall be using them again!

United Utilities Lancashire

"From initial inquiry to contract they were fast, efficient and excellent with their backup"

Metropolitan Insulation Services were contracted for the second time earlier this year to strip down 2 silos in the east of London and insulate to a specific value. As well as this they applied a long term weatherproof barrier.

We dealt initially with James Barker who answered all our queries and gave excellent technical support. From initial inquiry to contract they were fast, efficient and excellent with their backup. As we are market leaders in ready mix concrete, we would go as far as to say Capital meet our standards.

Cemex Tilbury

"If you want fast, efficient service and excellent back up for a commercial or industrial purpose - Metropolitan Insulation are spot on"

We had specific requirements for 5 silos at our new plant at Ridham. In honesty we were struggling to find a product that would give us the required U/value and provide a seamless barrier for odour. We managed to locate Metropolitan Insulation on their very friendly and informative site.

From our initial meeting and in all aspects of technical support, mobilisation and installation the service was excellent. Moreover the follow up support as well as costings were more than competitive. So much so that we have awarded them a much larger contract this year. If you want fast, efficient service and excellent back up for a commercial or industrial purpose - Metropolitan Insulation are spot on!
