Services
S & D Garritt Ltd, formerly S.F. Garritt Ltd, was established in 1982 by Steve Garritt. We are an entirely family run business based in Doncaster, but undertake work anywhere in the country, and occasionally overseas. All of our consulting staff are members of the Institute of Acoustics, and the company is a member of the Association of Noise Consultants (ANC).
We can assist with the acoustic design of both new build and converted dwellings so that the building should comfortably pass the sound insulation tests required before handover of the development. Assistance can be given in the form of drawing analysis, meeting attendance, and in the case of dwellings formed by material change of use, we can inspect the building before work is started.
Current advice on planning and noise is contained in National Planning Policy Guidance (NPPG) document. We can undertake surveys that address all of the above current methodology, and also more quantitative established guidance set out in the relevant British Standards and Good Practice Guides.
Planning surveys will usually involve the acoustic design of a mitigation scheme that minimises the impact of noise on quality of life, and maximises the feasibility of the proposed development.British Standard 4142 is used for the assessment of industrial noise affecting noise sensitive premises and has existed in various forms for several decades.

With the increased focus of health and safety in the workplace and the rise in compensation claims for industrial deafness it is becoming more important to protect employees from exposure to noise. The Control of Noise at Work Regulations give guidelines as to how employers can go about protecting their employees and in turn protect themselves from compensation claims.
Assessments in support of obtaining BREEAM credits can be undertaken for all applicable types of development including healthcare, commercial and educational projects. We offer pre construction surveys, design advice and post construction testing for all types of development.
