Soundproofing help

Looking for first hand advise on soundproofing a ceiling.


We have recently moved into a Victorian house (flat conversion) in SE23. We are on the ground floor and our bedroom is directly below our neighbour's kitchen. Although the family upstairs are not doing anything unordinary, any noises travel very easily down to us in the bedroom...footsteps, stuff being moved about, dishwasher, we can even hear the coffee machine. They have a new baby and are understandably up very early, but this is directly impacting our sleep.


They have tiles on the floor so ripping this up would ruin their floor. We do luckily have very high ceilings so could afford to lose some height.


Has anyone had any similar work done or able to suggest someone to help?


Did soundproofing the ceiling work for you?


Thanks in advance!

    • Big black Irish wolfhound wandering around Peckham rye on the grassy area near the smaller playground (not the cafe one). Couldn’t see an obvious owner, he had a collar on and very placid but no details on collar. He wandered off (and I wasn’t in a position to stay) but please can folks keep an eye out if he’s still wandering about later in case he has been abandoned. Park ranger numbers were not working 😞 
    • I read somewhere that it was to be an Orleans Smokehouse, opening in December, which seems unlikely
    • There are "plans" to build more reservoirs, with physical work yet to be started, with the first hoped to be completed by 2036, and a second by 2040, then time is needed for them to fill so add at least another 12 months on. However, if the 1.5 million homes are built by 2028, each averaging 2 people occupying them.(some will be more, some will be less) then thats 3 million people showering, bathing and using water.  Therefore there is a massive demand that will strain our current inferstructure between 2028 and 2037 (nearly ten years) plus all those homes will need electricity, as the ambition is to phase gas usage out, which will take just as much time to reinforce the network to cover, let alone add in the ability to cope with green production electricity that needs to be moved from wind and solar farms to where it is most needed.  Therefore, is the current plan to build more homes, regardless of where they are,  potentially going to have serious ramifications on already creaking networks ?
