WALNUT ACOUSTICS

About Us

What we do

Walnut provide a range of acoustical consultancy services from noise surveys and acoustic designs for commercial and residential developments, through to environmental and industrial noise impact assessments and noise at work reports.

We are a small but highly focused group of consultants who can be engaged individually or as a team depending on the size and nature of the project involved. We cover all the major British Standards on noise and acoustics including BS8233, BS4142, BS5228 and BB93 and provide detailed reports for a wide range of industrial, commercial and property developments.
