Fire-rated ceilings for Oxfordshire buildings
On the industrial estates around Didcot we fit ceilings in in-shed offices and welfare areas, using moisture-resistant tiles where washrooms and canteens need them. Oxford has plenty of older buildings, where a new ceiling has to work around window heads and existing features, and where an asbestos survey is needed before stripping out anything installed before 2000.

Yes. We take on fire-rated ceilings across Oxfordshire, including Oxford, Banbury and Didcot, and nearby areas such as Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Warwickshire.
Do you fit ceilings in warehouse offices around Banbury?
Yes. Mezzanine offices, canteens and welfare blocks inside sheds are a regular job, planned around shifts and vehicle movements.
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.

Your fire strategy, fire engineer or Building Control. We can quote to their specification and point out where a tested system will meet it.
