Acoustic ceilings in Lancashire
Our teams carry out acoustic ceilings in Preston, Blackpool, Blackburn and Lancaster and across the rest of Lancashire. 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 Lancashire buildings
For shops and retail units in Blackburn we programme ceilings around lease and opening dates, doing stockroom grids and shop-floor ceilings in one visit where possible. Schools, colleges and university buildings in Preston usually want ceilings done in the holidays, with acoustic tiles chosen to help meet Building Bulletin 93 targets in teaching rooms.

Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Lancashire?
Yes. We take on acoustic ceilings across Lancashire, including Preston, Blackpool, Blackburn, Lancaster and Burnley, and nearby areas such as Greater Manchester, Merseyside and West Yorkshire.
Can you work around our shop's opening hours in Blackburn?
Yes. We can fit overnight or before opening, and phase the work so the shop floor keeps trading.
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.
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.
