Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Suffolk?
Yes. We take on MF plasterboard ceilings across Suffolk, including Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and Lowestoft, and nearby areas such as Norfolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire.
Will a ceiling cope with damp air near the coast at Lowestoft?
In damp areas we use humidity-resistant tiles and better-protected grid, and check ventilation is doing its job.
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.
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.
