Businesses in London are taking their fire safety very seriously this year with an increase in demand for fire rated ceilings in the second quarter of 2023. Businesses that move premises are upgrading the current ceilings and calling on Swiftsure to assist. Swiftsure offers a complete service including the design, supply and installation of fire rated ceilings in London, backed by years of industry knowledge and experience.

The need for fire rated ceilings is determined by the type of building. In most cases, residential properties do not require a fire rated ceilings, but commercial buildings should have them to protect staff and visitors. The ceilings are rated based on their resistance to fire and the spread of fire. Fire ratings are usually thirty to sixty minutes, which gives teams and visitors ample time to exit the building in the event of a fire.

In the event a fire does break out in a commercial property, such as a commercial kitchen in a school or a wiring fault in an office building, these ceilings can prevent the spread of the fire, giving people a chance to escape. It takes the fire longer to destroy the fire resistant ceiling, giving those inside more time to evacuate safely, while giving fire fighting crews ample time to enter the building and extinguish the flames.

Fire rated ceilings are being installed throughout London in commercial kitchens, meeting spaces, office buildings, schools, government buildings and more. Commercial kitchens are one of the highest risk areas in any business with thousands of fires being reported annually throughout the country. The leading cause is cooking equipment and electrical distribution.

A spokesperson at Swiftsure said “We have worked with companies of all sizes from government agencies to schools and universities throughout London helping them with the design, supply and installation of their fire rated ceilings, helping to protect those inside the building. We offer extensive knowledge, experience, quality workmanship, superior quality materials and a guarantee.”
