Fire-rated ceilings in South Wales
Our teams carry out fire-rated ceilings in Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Bridgend and across the rest of South Wales. 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 South Wales buildings
Much of the work in Cardiff 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. On the industrial estates around Newport we fit ceilings in in-shed offices and welfare areas, using moisture-resistant tiles where washrooms and canteens need them.
Typical fire-rated ceilings jobs we price in South Wales include office floors being re-tiled between tenants, warehouse offices and welfare blocks, classrooms refurbished in the holidays. South Wales is in Wales, around 95 miles from our Birmingham base on average.

Questions people ask
Do you cover all of South Wales?
Yes. We take on fire-rated ceilings across South Wales, including Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Bridgend, and nearby areas such as Bristol, Somerset and Herefordshire.
Can you fit a ceiling in an occupied office in Cardiff?
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.
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.
