Tim studied Building Engineering at Liverpool University during which time he developed an interest in acoustics. To obtain an in depth knowledge of acoustics Tim undertook an M.Sc in Sound and Vibration at Chelsea College, University of London, and continued research in acoustics in buildings for a PhD at Chelsea College.

As the Building Engineering course encouraged vacation work associated with buildings Tim’s first work was as a labourer on building sites during the summer holidays which gave an invaluable introduction to the practical side of building work. Following post graduate and post doctoral studies, during which time Tim undertook various consultancy work, Tim retired from academic work to join Sound Research Laboratories as Acoustic Consultant to specialise in Building Acoustics and progressed to Principal Consultant. In 1990 Tim set up Sharps Redmore Partnership with Doug Sharps.

Based on the practical introduction to building design and construction as a labourer on building sites Tim’s aim has always been to provide practical, buildable, cost effective advice mainly for buildings but has also been involved with associated planning and development specification work. During more than 50 years in acoustic consultancy Tim has acquired extensive experience  on all types of buildings but specifically cinemas and leisure developments, TV and radio studios, and residential projects of all sizes.

Tim resides on the coast in North Wales adjacent to the Wales coastal path, with mountains to the rear. Despite a long interest in good sport and music Tim is often to be found meeting up with various members of his family at dark and dingy lower league football grounds to enjoy the suffering of watching his hometown football club (Walsall) or at numerous venues to enjoy the acoustics of a Bob Dylan concert. Such eccentricity has been added to over recent years by developing a collection of historical pinball machines dating from 1936 to 1996 (currently 18 fully working machines).
