Fire-rated ceilings in Derbyshire
Our teams carry out fire-rated ceilings in Derby and Chesterfield and across the rest of Derbyshire. 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.

Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Derbyshire?
Yes. We take on fire-rated ceilings across Derbyshire, including Derby and Chesterfield, and nearby areas such as Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire and Staffordshire.
Can you work around our shop's opening hours in Chesterfield?
Yes. We can fit overnight or before opening, and phase the work so the shop floor keeps trading.
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.
Can I put normal light fittings in a fire-rated ceiling?
Only if the system allows it, usually with fire hoods or protected fittings. Unprotected openings can void the rating.
