Fire-rated ceilings in Cornwall
Our teams carry out fire-rated ceilings in Truro and Newquay and across the rest of Cornwall. A fire-rated ceiling is a tested ceiling system that holds back fire for a stated time, usually 30 or 60 minutes, protecting either the void above or the structure.
Fire-rated ceilings for Cornwall buildings
Clinics and healthcare buildings in Truro need wipe-clean ceilings in treatment areas and good speech privacy in consulting rooms, often fitted while services keep running. Near the water at Newquay, damp air shortens the life of standard tiles and grid in some rooms; humidity-resistant tiles and corrosion-resistant grid last longer.

Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Cornwall?
Yes. We take on fire-rated ceilings across Cornwall, including Truro and Newquay, and nearby areas such as Devon, South Wales and Somerset.
Do you work in clinics and surgeries in Truro?
Yes. We use wipe-clean tiles where needed and phase work so clinics can stay open.
Who decides if we need a fire-rated ceiling?
Your fire strategy, fire engineer or Building Control. We can quote to their specification and point out where a tested system will meet it.
Are all suspended ceilings fire-rated?
No. Most tiles have a good reaction-to-fire class, but fire resistance only applies to a complete system tested and installed as specified. Ask for the tested system reference.
