Total Studio Design
Professional Recording Studio Builders
- from Concept to Completion
Total studio design is part of the Total Acoustic Solutions group, based in London and Manchester in the United Kingdom.
We offer a complete design/build and fit-out service worldwide with a number of substantial overseas projects as testament to our reputation as a world leader in this highly specialized field.
Our acoustic design consultant, Peter Kerry is UKAS accredited (Registration Number 4128), ensuring all our builds conform to BS-EN-ISO standards.
Our projects range from simple home studios through to large commercial multi-media centre's.
We offer site suitability studies to ensure you will achieve the very best results for your particular budget, as the case study below highlights.
A case study:
A client in London was about to sign a 10 year lease on an industrial unit, we advised him to let us survey the building before he put pen to paper, wisely he did and after one of the tests conducted, (an electro magnetic field test) we found a 33,000 volt cable running parallel to the proposed studio. Not only would this have made recording impossible it would also have had serious health implications for anybody exposed for long periods. Being a 24/7 studio it would have been extremely dangerous for the producer and his clients.
We came up with a studio design made of sheet lead and X-ray plaster. Not all findings are as dramatic, but a full free site survey is highly recommended. A site survey also lets us determine if your biggest concern is noise getting in or noise getting out. It cost a lot less to attenuate external ambient noise as opposed to 110 decibels of drum leakage.
We also sound test on completion to prove the build will comply with all planning regulations regarding noise abatement. We also supply written guarantees to back this up. The site visit would help us ascertain your requirements and streamline your costs.
Please browse our site at your leisure and if you are fascinated by the acoustic treatment side of our business then you will find our technical page of particular interest.
Again thank you for visiting and we hope to see you soon.

Testimonial
Lex Neel of Lincoln contacted us regarding a bespoke home studio build.
The brief: to design and build a home studio which could be used 24/7. The problem was his home was surrounded by neighbours who were opposed to his recording studio build and who had petitioned to stop the construction.
Lex goes on to say "I approached several so called studio design and build professionals but not one would offer written guarantees
saying it would be impossible to predict the finished result. This was no good to me as I wanted cast iron written guarantees that I could use the studio unhinded. Total studio design came around, did a survey and gave me a quote and a written guarantee that the studio would not breach noise regulations.
My major concern was a particular neighbour whose property was no more than 2 meters away he was and still is a thorn in my side and I knew he would be the one who complained first.
Total studio design had me worried at one
point as they put the ventilation vents on the wall that was nearest him but to my amazement once the studio was up and running the baffles and attenuators in the vents worked that well it was impossible to pick up any noise pollution coming through them.
I have got to be honest, I had my doubts at the beginning but the studio' was commissioned 3 months ago and have not yet had one complaint. I would recommend Total Studio Design to anybody thinking of building a home studio".
