MF plasterboard ceilings for Dorset buildings
Coastal and waterside buildings in Bournemouth see more humidity in the air, so we look closely at moisture-resistant tiles and better-protected grid near entrances and wet areas. Office buildings in Bournemouth range from older blocks with tired grids to floors fitted out for each new tenant. We match tiles where we can and replace the grid where it no longer suits the layout.

Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Dorset?
Yes. We take on MF plasterboard ceilings across Dorset, including Bournemouth, Poole and Dorchester, and nearby areas such as Somerset, Wiltshire and Hampshire.
Will a ceiling cope with damp air near the coast at Bournemouth?
In damp areas we use humidity-resistant tiles and better-protected grid, and check ventilation is doing its job.
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.
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.
