Fire-rated ceilings in West Sussex
We provide fire-rated ceilings throughout West Sussex, from Crawley to Chichester, 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.

Much of Crawley was built from the 1960s onwards, and many of its original office and public-building ceilings are now due for re-tiling or replacement.

Questions people ask
Do you cover all of West Sussex?
Yes. We take on fire-rated ceilings across West Sussex, including Crawley, Worthing and Chichester, and nearby areas such as Surrey, East Sussex and Hampshire.
Can you work around our shop's opening hours in Worthing?
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.
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.
