They will charge the earth to do a job like this and te stuff aint cheap in the first place!
I wouldnt be srprised if they charged you £1k to supply and fit!
I used about 20/22 rolls of dynamat extreme in my corsa and took a long time to get it all in there!
Do it yourself its self adhesive and all you gotta do is roll it on flat!

Well i got a good deal on mine
It wasnt quite as good as the 9 rolls for £150 fromt caraudiodirect when they did it but it was close!
I think i payed about £18 for some of them and some i payed abit more for as bought them before!
i think it was 20 i used thinking about it!

well if you want them to strip your car fuly dynamat it and then re-build it you would be looking at over £1k easily!
As at sextons you are gonna pay £35 an hour and so you r labour for the job is gonna easily be 15-20 hours at least 2 full days and maybe more and then the cost of the dynamat at £25 a roll!
No offence but you are stupid to pay someone to do it enless you have shed loads of money!

I wouldnt say im stupid, im just shit when it comes to putting stuff back together
The doors and boot etc are a peice of piss. But floor is a big job as is the roof. Just want that done by someone who knows what they are doing

Jambo why do you need sound proofing? - Road noise? SQ in a sound system? I still maintain its not worth doing to a Corsa. For a kick off fitting low profile tyres gives way more road noise as does harder suspension and sports exhausts?

I deffo think its worth doing if you can afford to
It made a definate difference to the amount of sound in mine, yes you still hear exhaust and things like that but it does make the bass sound better and deffo stops alot of ratles

i paid £16 a roll, which is actually slightl;y less per roll than the bulk deal.....
Buy it and fit it yourself, no point paying someone to do it u dont need any technical know how, just some time and determination LOL.
