Education buildings in Sunderland often have older ceilings due for replacement. In pre-2000 blocks we check the asbestos register first, then programme the work for holiday periods.

Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Tyne and Wear?
Yes. We take on fire-rated ceilings across Tyne and Wear, including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland and Gateshead, and nearby areas such as Northumberland, County Durham and North Yorkshire.
Can you work around our shop's opening hours in Gateshead?
Yes. We can fit overnight or before opening, and phase the work so the shop floor keeps trading.
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.
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.
