Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Tyne and Wear?
Yes. We take on MF plasterboard ceilings across Tyne and Wear, including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland and Gateshead, and nearby areas such as Northumberland, County Durham and North Yorkshire.
Can you work around our shop's opening hours in Newcastle upon Tyne?
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.
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.
