Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Leicestershire?
Yes. We take on fire-rated ceilings across Leicestershire, including Leicester, Loughborough and Hinckley, and nearby areas such as Rutland, Warwickshire and Northamptonshire.
Can school ceiling work in Loughborough be done in the holidays?
Yes. We plan holiday programmes and agree access, keys and site rules with the school beforehand.
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.
