If you're a musician wanting to build your own soundproof garage studio or just want to see what we do - check out the first part of our latest home studio build in Reading.
We have been building studios for the last 12 years for some of the Uk’s top musicians completing around 16 projects per year. We are musicians ourselves so we understand the necessary components needed to create successful soundproof rooms. We are also passionate about what we do but don't take ourselves too seriously!!
We will be going through each stage of the build step by step over the coming weeks so don’t forget to hit the like button and to subscribe.

Wow, that's amazing progress.!! And I was really looking forward to a Garage install, well done guys!

[@soundproofingexpert777]

Thanks Alex! We are back there tomorrow so hopefully another video early next week! 👍🏻

Really great to see a garage conversion on your channel. Enjoying your posts. Keep up the good work! 👍👌

[@soundproofingexpert777]

Thankyou for watching! It's a nice change working on a garage studio 👍🏻👌🏻

This garage is come along at just the right time. :) My project is almost the same as this garage. Thank you :)

[@soundproofingexpert777]

Great to hear! 👍🏻

[@doityourseb8621]

@@soundproofingexpert777 yep and my son too. I play with mesh heads for 2 years (our last moving). We have bought a new house and plan to build a room.

Cor I wish I could afford you guys for soundproofing my small garage workshop! Nice job!

[@soundproofingexpert777]

Just had a look at your videos - hope your garage is taking shape!! 👍🏻

@@soundproofingexpert777 this new smaller space full of stuff after moving over. Plan is to get it all in a gazebo, build a couple of false walls, Rockwool slab the party wall and ceiling, maybe use Knauf roll for the rest, air gap, then 18mm MDF on the outside. Should probably include some kind of damp proof membrane as well somewhere. Trying to do it all on a budget is a nightmare as you know!

[@gavinr7505]

Hello, thanks for your content. Can I ask - to seal the outer roof did you just squeeze wool along the eves and up at the apex? Did you do any other sound proofing to the external roof structure? Thank you again! Gavin

[@soundproofingexpert777]

Someone else had put some insulation high up in the roof before we started. Other than that the roof isn't insulated above the lower ceiling we have built 👍🏻

[@gavinr7505]

Thank you. Can I check that the ceiling construction from inside the room up is: 2 x plasterboard. Wool. Wool stuffed into the existing truss ‘ceiling’ tie. The open space of the garage roof. Tiles. Outside. ? Thanks for this. I’m doing a similar build at my house and this is so helpful. (I thought you might have extra plasterboard on the existing truss) Gavin

[@THETEEBEEPEE]

another question, what timber are you using? i'dit 89mm cls, or proper 100mm stuff? not sure how well the insulation compresses from 100mm

[@soundproofingexpert777]

It's 89mm CLS - the Rockwool has a bit of give in it at 100mm so works ok!

[@THETEEBEEPEE]

Is this build just getting 2 layers of insulation? I think for the timber ones there have usually been 3. Do the brick walls negate the need to for the third layer?

[@soundproofingexpert777]

That's right just 2 layers as the brick replaces the outer layer of Rockwool. 👍🏻

[@jacktoy3688]

Really brilliant to see, Would this make the project cheaper as you don’t have to build the external walls/concrete base Ect ? Im currently trying to buy a house and have a studio either in the garden/garage. Paying rent on my teaching/practice space right now and a home studio is the dream!

[@soundproofingexpert777]

Yes it is definitely cheaper to covert a garage than build from scratch! 👍🏻
