Noise Stop - Patented Noise Reduction Technology
About Noise Stop
Welcome to your premier UK destination for Noise-Stop®, the patented universal soundproofing system specifically designed for manholes, pit lids, and drain covers. As the official UK distributor, our mission is to bring this "smart solution for a better life" to residential and urban areas across the country, tackling the persistent problem of noise pollution caused by traffic.
The Problem We Solve
We understand the frustration caused by a noisy manhole cover that makes life impossible. That familiar, annoying metallic "clank" occurs every time a vehicle passes over a manhole, caused by the tilting of covers and grates as they strike their frames. This constant noise disrupts sleep, reduces urban acoustic comfort, and affects the quality of life for both residents and their pets.
The Noise-Stop® Solution
Noise-Stop® is a unique invention developed and patented by ITG SPA, an industry leader in elastomer-based gaskets and liquid silicone technology. This system effectively compensates for the gaps and deformations between covers and frames.
Our Product Range
We provide tailored solutions based on the specific wear and traffic conditions of your location:
• Light Noise Series: Ideal for residential areas with light daily traffic and slight cover defects.
• Medium Noise Series: Designed for urban and extra-urban roads with medium to high vehicle and truck traffic.
• Heavy Noise Series: The solution for "enormous problems of tilting" where frames and lids are highly deformed and require high vertical and lateral thickness.
Our Commitment
As your UK distributor, we are committed to providing not just a product, but a complete consultancy service. Whether you are a homeowner looking for peace and quiet or a contractor managing street maintenance, we offer the expertise to identify the best soundproofing scheme for any situation
What are the benefits of Noise Stop?
1. Patented Noise Reduction Technology
Noise-Stop® is a unique and patented solution specifically designed to tackle the common problem of urban noise pollution. It effectively eliminates the loud, metallic "clacking" sound caused by vehicles passing over loose manhole covers and drains by compensating for the gap between the frame and the cover.
2. Universal and Versatile Design
One of the product's strongest selling points is its universal compatibility. Thanks to its versatile shape, it can be applied to any manhole cover or drain, whether it is round, square, or triangular. It is designed to adapt to almost every existing configuration on the market.
3. Improved Quality of Life and Comfort
By reducing urban noise, the product significantly increases acoustic comfort in residential areas. This improvement in the environment benefits both human residents—allowing for a quieter life and "peaceful sleep"—and their pets.
4. Fast and Simple Installation
Noise-Stop® is designed for ease of use and can be installed in as little as five minutes. Each kit contains at least six units that are easy to apply, making it a "smart" and accessible solution for immediate results.
5. Tailored Solutions for Every Traffic Condition
The product is available in three distinct series to match specific wear and tear levels:
• Light Noise: Ideal for residential areas with light daily traffic and minor defects.
• Medium Noise: Suitable for urban and extra-urban roads with medium to high traffic, including heavy vehicles.
• Heavy Noise: Designed for covers with severe tilting problems and significant deformation that require substantial vertical and lateral spacing.
6. Proven Durability and Industrial Quality
Developed by ITG SPA—experts in elastomer gaskets and liquid silicone technology—the product is built to last. Testimonials indicate that the special rubber units remain effective and durable for over a year, even under continuous traffic. Furthermore, the manufacturing process is backed by ISO 9001 (Quality Assurance) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Assurance) certifications.
7. Professional Reliability

Frequently Asked Questions:
How does CoverMe work?
CoverMe is a patented bagging-off system designed to safely cover traffic signals, Belisha beacons and street furniture from ground level using an extendable pole system. Unlike traditional methods that require ladders and working at height, CoverMe allows operatives to install and remove covers quickly, safely and efficiently while remaining on the ground.
Is CoverMe ARTSM compliant?
CoverMe has been developed in line with safer working practices promoted across the traffic management industry and has been discussed within ARTSM safety conversations relating to working at height reduction. The system is designed to help contractors and local authorities improve safety during bagging-off operations.
What sizes are available?
CoverMe is available in multiple sizes to suit a wide range of applications including:
- Traffic light covers
- Belisha beacon covers
- Street lighting covers
- Road sign covers
- Other street furniture applications
Custom sizes and branding options may also be available depending on project requirements.
How long does installation take?
CoverMe significantly reduces installation time compared to traditional ladder-based bagging-off methods. In many cases, operatives can install multiple covers in the same time it would normally take to install a single traditional bag. This helps improve efficiency while reducing roadworker exposure to live traffic environments.
Do I need ladder training to use CoverMe?
No. One of the major benefits of CoverMe is that it eliminates the need for ladders during installation and removal. Because the system is operated safely from ground level using a pole system, there is no requirement for ladder access or working-at-height exposure during normal use.
