Acoustic ceilings in Leicestershire
We provide acoustic ceilings throughout Leicestershire, from Leicester to Hinckley, for commercial, education and public buildings. 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.

Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Leicestershire?
Yes. We take on acoustic ceilings across Leicestershire, including Leicester, Loughborough and Hinckley, and nearby areas such as Rutland, Warwickshire and Northamptonshire.
Can school ceiling work in Leicester be done in the holidays?
Yes. We plan holiday programmes and agree access, keys and site rules with the school beforehand.
What is the difference between NRC and αw?
Both describe sound absorption. NRC is an American average; αw is the European rating that gives the A–E class used on UK datasheets. Compare tiles using the same measure.
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.
