Rules and approvals in Cardiff
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.
Work that needs Building Regulations approval can go through Cardiff Council building control or a registered building control approver. Building Regulations are devolved in Wales, so the Welsh Approved Documents apply.
Questions to ask an installer
- Is the tile still made, or will a whole area need replacing?
- Does the ceiling need a fire or acoustic rating?
- Who coordinates the electrician and air conditioning?
- Is out-of-hours working included in the price?
Options
Types of suspended ceilings
Exposed grid and tile
The standard office ceiling. 600 x 600 mm tiles lift out for easy access to services.
Concealed grid
Tiles hide the grid for a cleaner look. Access is slower, so it suits areas with few services above.
MF plasterboard
A smooth, seamless ceiling on a metal frame. Used for bulkheads, receptions and feature areas.
Acoustic rafts and baffles
Hung panels that cut echo in open ceilings without closing the soffit in.
Questions
Suspended ceilings in Cardiff: common questions
Do you have suspended ceilings installers in Cardiff?
We are a new network and are still signing installers up. If we cannot match your job in Cardiff, we tell you. We do not pass it to someone unsuitable.
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.
