Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Hampshire?
Yes. We take on fire-rated ceilings across Hampshire, including Southampton, Portsmouth, Basingstoke, Winchester and Farnborough, and nearby areas such as Berkshire, West Sussex and Surrey.
Can you fit a ceiling in an occupied office in Southampton?
Yes. We work evenings and weekends, sheet and move furniture section by section, and leave each area usable for the next morning.
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.
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.
