Airport noise grants

UK airport noise insulation schemes

If your home is under a UK airport flight path, you may qualify for a noise insulation grant. Each airport runs its own scheme with different grant amounts, eligibility criteria, and contractor arrangements.

For Gatwick: S&K Glazing is an officially appointed scheme installer. If your property qualifies under the Gatwick Noise Insulation Scheme, we deliver the funded works directly.

For all other UK airports: we offer a free eligibility check, independent guidance on how to apply, and private acoustic glazing for work the official schemes don't cover — properties outside the boundary, premium upgrades, and commercial premises.

Outside the scheme boundary? We can still help.

Most schemes cover only a tight contour around the airport — properties just outside the boundary still suffer the noise without the funding. S&K Glazing installs private acoustic glazing for any UK property affected by flight noise, with specifications from Rw 38dB up to Rw 52dB sound reduction.
