MF plasterboard ceilings for Devon buildings

Coastal and waterside buildings in Plymouth see more humidity in the air, so we look closely at moisture-resistant tiles and better-protected grid near entrances and wet areas.

Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Devon?
Yes. We take on MF plasterboard ceilings across Devon, including Exeter, Plymouth and Torquay, and nearby areas such as Cornwall, Somerset and South Wales.
Can school ceiling work in Exeter be done in the holidays?
Yes. We plan holiday programmes and agree access, keys and site rules with the school beforehand.
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.
Is an MF ceiling better than a grid ceiling?
Neither is better; they do different jobs. Grid ceilings are cheaper and keep the void accessible. MF looks cleaner and can be fire-rated, but you need access panels to reach anything above it.
