Suspended ceilings and partitions in Leicester
We carry out suspended ceilings and partitions in Leicester and the surrounding parts of Leicestershire, 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 Leicester, we check the lease, the landlord's fit-out rules, the existing services and how materials can get into the unit.
In and around Leicester we are usually asked to work on cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants and high street units and corner shops.

What should Leicester 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.
