Acoustic Consultants for Noise, Vibration & Building Acoustics


Kimber Acoustics is an independent acoustic consultancy helping clients avoid planning delays, design rework and noise complaints.

Noise and vibration issues can lead to planning objections, restrictive conditions and late design changes when they are identified too late or assessed poorly. Kimber Acoustics works with developers, designers and contractors to identify acoustic risk early, provide evidence that satisfies local authority scrutiny, and ensure noise and vibration are properly controlled through design and construction.

Projects are undertaken across South Wales, Bristol, Bath, Cardiff, Newport, Oxford, London and the wider South West. Regular engagement with local planning authorities and environmental health officers helps ensure that assessments are proportionate, defensible and aligned with how planning conditions are applied in practice.
