Suspended ceilings and partitions for Christchurch businesses
Owners opening or refreshing a unit in Christchurch 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?
Before we price suspended ceilings and partitions in Christchurch, we check the lease, the landlord's fit-out rules, the existing services and how materials can get into the unit.
In and around Christchurch we are usually asked to work on convenience stores and off-licences and showrooms and trade counters.
What is included?
- Metal stud partitions
- Fire-rated and acoustic walls
- Drylining of existing walls
- Access hatches and making good
- Grid ceilings with lay-in tiles
What should Christchurch owners check first?
- 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.
- Stockroom walls should be built to take heavy racking fixings.
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.
