Suspended ceilings and partitions across Gwent
Businesses across Gwent use us for suspended ceilings and partitions because one team manages the design, the trades and the sign-off. We regularly quote in Ebbw Vale, Newport, Cwmbran.
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.
Working in Gwent
In Gwent we mostly see showrooms and trade counters and shopping centre units and retail park stores. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
South Wales town centres, from the capital to the valleys, have many older terraced shop units where fit-outs need careful work around existing structure and services.
What does the work include?
- Grid ceilings with lay-in tiles
- Plasterboard ceilings and bulkheads
- Metal stud partitions
- Fire-rated and acoustic walls
Planning and building control in Gwent
In Wales, the Building Regulations are set by the Welsh Government and applied by local authority building control. Shopfronts, signs and extraction flues need checking with the local planning authority, and many Welsh towns have conservation areas with stricter rules on shopfront design.
- 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.
