Residential Day Noise Insulation Scheme

This scheme provides acoustic insulation to residential buildings in the community. It is restricted to the 18-hour 1994 69dB LAeq noise contour, enhanced to take account of early morning arrivals noise.

Those eligible to apply can choose from:

  • Free secondary glazing to fit existing windows
  • A 50% contribution to standard double-glazed PVCu replacement windows
  • A 50% contribution to high-specification double-glazed PVCu replacement windows, specially designed to reduce noise levels
  • A combination of these options.

Ventilation and loft insulation is offered free of charge as part of the scheme. Loft insulation helps to further reduce noise disturbance.

If you have any questions about the noise insulation scheme, please call us on 020 8745 7930.
