ADNITT ACOUSTIC SERVICES LIMITED

What ADNITT ACOUSTIC SERVICES LIMITED does

Adnitt Acoustic Services Limited, trading as Adnitt Acoustics, is an independent UK acoustic consultancy practice providing noise, vibration and sound management services for the built environment. Founded in 2002 and operating from offices in Epsom (London) and Glasgow, the firm works with architects, developers, planners and contractors across England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and parts of Europe. Its service portfolio spans the full construction lifecycle and comprises Acoustic Design Review & Advice, Surveys/Testing & Monitoring (including BREEAM assessments and real-time monitoring with alerts), Expert Witness testimony, ANC-registered Sound Insulation Testing, Noise at Work assessments, and free CPD seminars delivered at client locations.

The underlying technology base is professional acoustic consultancy — measurement, modelling and design solutions grounded in UK building regulations (Approved Document E, Robust Details Handbook, BB93, BS8233, HTM08-01) — rather than a software platform. The firm is an ANC Registered Testing Organisation for Part E sound insulation testing across all four UK jurisdictions, with all technicians individually registered through the ANC; all technical staff hold IoA membership. Notable engagements include the noise chapter of the £6.5bn Thameslink 2000 EIA, Brentford Lock residential apartments (RIBA National Award 2019), Hard Rock Hotel London, multiple Premier Inn and IHG properties, and Aberystwyth University.

The business model is project-based professional services: fees are quote-based and not publicly disclosed, billing occurs against multi-year engagement profiles, and go-to-market is direct enterprise sales supplemented by a community-led CPD seminar programme and a 42-project case study portfolio. Customers are predominantly mid-to-large enterprise clients including Mace, McAleer & Rushe, Sir Robert McAlpine, Whitbread, IHG, GLH Hotels, Motability, AGS Airports and Southampton Airport. The firm has no disclosed parent company, no external funding rounds and no M&A activity; growth has been organic, signalled primarily through its Scotland office, its partnerships with Hunter Acoustics and Temple Environmental, and its sustained repeat-client relationships.
