Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Edinburgh and Lothians?
Yes. We take on suspended ceiling installation across Edinburgh and Lothians, including Edinburgh and Livingston, and nearby areas such as Central Scotland and Tayside, Glasgow and West Scotland and Northumberland.
Our ceiling in Livingston dates from when the building went up. Replace or re-tile?
If the grid is straight, clean and a standard size, re-tiling is cheaper. If it is bent, rusty or in the wrong layout, replace it.
How long does it take to fit a suspended ceiling?
A two-person team typically fits somewhere around 60–120 m² a day in an open room once the setting out is done. Corridors, bulkheads and lots of light fittings slow that down. We give a programme with the quote.
Can you fit a suspended ceiling while the building is in use?
Yes. We regularly work evenings and weekends in occupied offices and shops, sheeting and moving furniture section by section so the space can be used the next morning.
