Plasterboard/sound proofing

Hi, looking to maybe add a layer of plaster board to certain areas of my home to block out noise. Im not sure if sound proofing is something that plastering professionals offer or if its just an extra layer of plasterboard needed. Any advice welcome.

Thanks in advance.

"Hi David,

You can get a soundproof plaster board which would help with the noise ultimately I would advise studding out the adjoining wall and using Celotex insulation along with the SB plasterboard, this would certainly tone the noise to a minimum."

"Hi there can be a few different ways to achieve sound proofing. I would recommend putting a timber frame on the wall with 25mm insulation between the joists then acoustic plasterboard can be use then plastering."

"Yes the sound proof plaster board is done by plasterers, this plaster board is blue in colour and are denser than normal plaster board but you could also double up with normal plaster board instead but the disadvantage of this is that it may take an extra inch off your wall making your room a little smaller."
