Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Tyne and Wear?
Yes. We take on suspended ceiling installation 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 Gateshead?
Yes. We can fit overnight or before opening, and phase the work so the shop floor keeps trading.
Do I need Building Regulations approval for a suspended ceiling?
A like-for-like ceiling in an existing commercial room rarely needs a full application, but the ceiling still has to meet the fire rules for linings (Approved Document B). New fit-outs, changes of use and fire-rated ceilings usually sit inside a wider Building Control application.
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.
