Fire-rated ceilings in Hertfordshire
Fire-rated ceilings across Hertfordshire: free survey, fixed written quote, and fitting out of hours if the building is in use. 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 Hertfordshire buildings
Office buildings in Hatfield range from older blocks with tired grids to floors fitted out for each new tenant. We match tiles where we can and replace the grid where it no longer suits the layout. Much of Stevenage was built from the 1960s onwards, and many of its original office and public-building ceilings are now due for re-tiling or replacement.
Typical fire-rated ceilings jobs we price in Hertfordshire include office floors being re-tiled between tenants, first-generation ceilings in post-war buildings due for replacement, shop units fitted out before opening.

Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Hertfordshire?
Yes. We take on fire-rated ceilings across Hertfordshire, including Watford, St Albans, Stevenage, Hemel Hempstead and Hatfield, and nearby areas such as Bedfordshire, Greater London and Buckinghamshire.
Can you fit a ceiling in an occupied office in Watford?
Yes. We work evenings and weekends, sheet and move furniture section by section, and leave each area usable for the next morning.
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.
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.
