Suspended ceilings and partitions for Kelso businesses
Need suspended ceilings and partitions in Kelso? We survey the unit, draw the layout with you and give a fixed, itemised price before anything is ordered.
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 Kelso, we check the lease, the landlord's fit-out rules, the existing services and how materials can get into the unit.
In and around Kelso we are usually asked to work on shopping centre units and retail park stores and showrooms and trade counters.

What should Kelso 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 Scotland, most fit-out work that alters the building needs a building warrant from the local authority before work starts, followed by a completion certificate. Planning permission and advertisement consent are separate, and Scottish councils publish their own shopfront design guidance.
