Suspended ceilings and partitions in Ely
Owners opening or refreshing a unit in Ely use our suspended ceilings and partitions service to get one contract, one programme and one point of contact.
Suspended ceilings and partitions form the shell of a fit-out: grid or plasterboard ceilings that hide services, and stud walls that divide the sales floor, stockroom, office and toilets.
What happens at the survey?
The survey for suspended ceilings and partitions in Ely covers measurements, service capacity, access for deliveries and any planning or building control points.

What should Ely owners check first?
- Stockroom walls should be built to take heavy racking fixings.
- Walls between a shop and a neighbouring unit or flat may need a fire rating.
- Grid ceilings give easy access to services; plasterboard looks cleaner.
In England, fit-out work that affects fire escape, structure, drainage or accessibility falls under the Building Regulations and is signed off by local authority or approved inspector building control. Shopfronts, extraction flues and illuminated signs are dealt with separately by the local planning authority.
