Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Rutland?
Yes. We take on fire-rated ceilings across Rutland, including Oakham, and nearby areas such as Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Lincolnshire.
Is an asbestos survey needed for older buildings in Oakham?
For any building put up before 2000, yes, before we strip out an existing ceiling. We will ask for the register or survey of the area.
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.
Who decides if we need a fire-rated ceiling?
Your fire strategy, fire engineer or Building Control. We can quote to their specification and point out where a tested system will meet it.
