Is an asbestos survey needed for older buildings in Stirling?
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.
Can an MF ceiling be fire-rated?
Yes, using fire-resisting board in a tested build-up. The rating comes from the whole system as tested, so we follow the board maker's specification exactly.
How long before an MF ceiling can be painted?
Once jointing compound or skim is fully dry. That is usually a few days, depending on temperature and ventilation.
