Suspended ceiling installers across the UK
Suspended ceilings are the standard finish in offices, shops, schools and healthcare buildings. They hide services, take lighting and air conditioning, and make access to the void easy. We match you with ceiling specialists who do commercial work every week.
Typically £30–£60 per m² for grid and tiles. See the cost guide.

Rules and safety
In buildings built before 2000, the ceiling void can hold asbestos. The law requires a refurbishment survey before anyone disturbs it. Where a ceiling forms part of the fire protection, the system must be installed exactly as tested, with the right tiles, hangers and clips.

Questions
Suspended ceilings: common questions
Can you just replace damaged ceiling tiles?
Yes. Installers can match and replace individual tiles, though older tiles are often discontinued, so a whole area may need new tiles to look right.
How long does a suspended ceiling take to fit?
A small office of around 100 m² is often a few days. Larger jobs are planned around other trades such as electricians and air conditioning engineers.
Can the work be done out of hours?
Many of our installers work evenings and weekends so shops and offices can keep trading.
