Fire-rated ceilings in Somerset
We provide fire-rated ceilings throughout Somerset, from Taunton to Weston-super-Mare, for commercial, education and public buildings. 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 Somerset buildings
Much of the work in Taunton is office ceilings: re-tiling between tenants, adding LED panels, and acoustic upgrades where open-plan floors have become noisy. Evening and weekend fitting keeps floors usable. Retail units around Weston-super-Mare usually need a fast turnaround, so we can work overnight in centres and on high streets to keep disruption to trading low.
Typical fire-rated ceilings jobs we price in Somerset include office floors being re-tiled between tenants, shop units fitted out before opening, ceilings in older buildings with low window heads. Somerset is in the South West, around 102 miles from our Birmingham base on average.

Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Somerset?
Yes. We take on fire-rated ceilings across Somerset, including Taunton, Bath, Yeovil and Weston-super-Mare, and nearby areas such as Bristol, South Wales and Wiltshire.
Can you fit a ceiling in an occupied office in Yeovil?
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.
