Fire-rated ceilings in Merseyside
Fire-rated ceilings across Merseyside: 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.

Coastal and waterside buildings in Birkenhead see more humidity in the air, so we look closely at moisture-resistant tiles and better-protected grid near entrances and wet areas. Distribution and industrial sites near St Helens often need ceilings in mezzanine offices, canteens and welfare blocks inside the main building, with access planned around shifts and loading.

Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Merseyside?
Yes. We take on fire-rated ceilings across Merseyside, including Liverpool, St Helens and Birkenhead, and nearby areas such as Cheshire, Greater Manchester and Lancashire.
Will a ceiling cope with damp air near the coast at Liverpool?
In damp areas we use humidity-resistant tiles and better-protected grid, and check ventilation is doing its job.
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.
