Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Lancashire?
Yes. We take on MF plasterboard ceilings across Lancashire, including Preston, Blackpool, Blackburn, Lancaster and Burnley, and nearby areas such as Greater Manchester, Merseyside and West Yorkshire.
Can you work around our shop's opening hours in Blackburn?
Yes. We can fit overnight or before opening, and phase the work so the shop floor keeps trading.
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.
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.
