Acoustic ceilings in Cumbria
Acoustic ceilings across Cumbria: free survey, fixed written quote, and fitting out of hours if the building is in use. An acoustic ceiling uses high-absorption tiles, and sometimes denser backing, to cut echo inside a room and stop speech travelling over partitions into the next one.
Acoustic ceilings for Cumbria buildings
In older buildings in Carlisle we check void depths, window heads and the asbestos register before setting a new ceiling height. On the industrial estates around Carlisle we fit ceilings in in-shed offices and welfare areas, using moisture-resistant tiles where washrooms and canteens need them.

Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Cumbria?
Yes. We take on acoustic ceilings across Cumbria, including Carlisle and Kendal, and nearby areas such as Lancashire, County Durham and Tyne and Wear.
Is an asbestos survey needed for older buildings in Kendal?
For any building put up before 2000, yes, before we strip out an existing ceiling. We will ask for the register or survey of the area.
Will acoustic tiles stop noise from the office next door?
Only if they are chosen for attenuation as well as absorption. Many high-absorption tiles are light and let sound through. If privacy between rooms is the issue we look at denser tiles or a void barrier above the partition line.
Can you just swap our tiles for acoustic ones?
Often yes. If the existing grid is sound and the right module, we can lay acoustic tiles into it, which is far cheaper than a new ceiling.
