Suspended ceilings and partitions for St Austell businesses
We carry out suspended ceilings and partitions in St Austell and the surrounding parts of Cornwall, managing every trade from strip-out to a clean handover.
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.
How do we plan the job?
Before we price suspended ceilings and partitions in St Austell, we check the lease, the landlord's fit-out rules, the existing services and how materials can get into the unit.
In and around St Austell we are usually asked to work on shopping centre units and retail park stores and cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants.

What should St Austell 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.
