Soundproof ceiling & built-in unit in Hove

Just completed a job in Hove for a very nice bloke called Grant. He could hear his upstairs neighbours every move and vice versa. So i suggested bringing the ceiling down with a metal frame system allowing space to be filled with 50mm acoustic insulation and then fix 2 layers of 15mm soundbloc plasterboard ,followed by a plaster skim and coving. The end result was no more noise travelling in either direction .
 Also Grant wanted a unit built into an alcove to take his DVD player/playstation/skybox etc and have room above for books and a cupboard below for storage. The end result was a contemporary unit with hidden bracket shelves with ample space to neatly store everything and hide all cables away.
