Noisy new home

Hello Looking for a bit of advise if anyone one can help? We bought a semi detached house last xmas in Galway. Although the house was finished very well. The house isnt sound proofed very well. We can hear the next door neighbours showing talking. If they have people over we can hear them chatting in there sitting room…

I had the same problem years ago in a new build. I had to get a sound engineer out to measure the dB levels between the two houses and it failed to meet the building requirements.

Got this company out to fix the issue [snip] (I was lucky the builders were still on site and they paid for the work)

They did a really good job and it reduced the noise levels right down. I'm in no way associated with the company I was just a very happy customer.
