Suspended ceilings and partitions in Newport
Owners opening or refreshing a unit in Newport 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 Newport covers measurements, service capacity, access for deliveries and any planning or building control points.
In and around Newport we are usually asked to work on cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants and shopping centre units and retail park stores.

- Grid ceilings with lay-in tiles

What should Newport owners check first?

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.
