Soundproofing (sound attenuation more accurately because you will never truly ‘proof’ a room) – you are not going to achieve any significant attenuation for even 10x that budget. The best that you can do for the least money is to fit secondary glazing and a heavy door / seal. This won’t address any transmission through the structure of the building / party wall. Best approach;
Buy some decent headphones
Limit the time that you play without headphones and pick your times considerately
My first house was an end of terrace. I did a lot of recording, with a band (although not acoustic drums), and never had any complaints but we had a strict curfew. I was also lucky that the room didn’t have a party wall.
Acoustic treatment, i.e. getting a more even sounding room, is realistic and you could do a lot with £1k plus some very basic DIY skills but don’t think that this will reduce the sound leakage in any way whatsoever.
Keep amps isolated from the floor. The simplest and cheapest method will be to buy a slab of mineral wool or fibreglass and put a board on top, onto which you can place your amp(s).
With a £1,000 budget I would foget any attempt to increase isolation of that room from the rest of your house. What you don't use for isolation you can use on acoustic treatment which will help you have a more pleasant environment, one in which you won't fatigued anywhere near as quick, and you will get up to 3db help with isolation, which is very little but better than 0db.
May I offer one non textbook idea? If you have some earbuds, have them on, quietly, so that the amp does not need to produce so much of the volume you want to hear. That way you still get to hear the amp on the room, which sounds more natural, but by having some of the volume come direct through the earbuds you can turn your amp down a little.
Studiospares do cheap copies that seem very similar.

I have extensive soundproofing in my garage but still have issues with bass frequencies in the house (according to the long suffering Mrs V).
