Ceilings in London

IRuci designs and installs ceilings for homes, offices, shops and other commercial spaces in London and the surrounding areas. A well-built ceiling does more than cover what is above: it hides services, evens out the room and gives you a clean surface ready for decoration.

Whether you need a simple boarded ceiling or a more complex layout with different levels, our drylining team builds it to fit your space and your plans.

Ceiling systems we install

  • Bulkhead ceilings

    Boxed-out sections in plasterboard that conceal pipes, ducts, cables or beams, or that create different levels and define zones within a room.

  • Gypline ceilings

    Plasterboard ceilings finished with smooth, jointed surfaces, ideal when you want a seamless look ready for painting.

  • Grid ceilings

    A suspended metal grid with lay-in tiles. A practical choice for offices and retail units because the tiles can be lifted to reach the services above.

  • MF ceilings

    Plasterboard fixed to a suspended metal-frame (MF) system. It creates a level ceiling below an uneven structure and leaves a void for services and lighting.

  • Ceiling boarding

    Plasterboard fixed directly to joists or to a framework, preparing the surface for plastering or finishing.

When a new ceiling makes sense

A new or lowered ceiling is often the simplest way to hide pipework and cabling, to correct a damaged or uneven ceiling, or to make room for recessed lighting. The space above can also hold insulation, which helps with comfort and with sound between floors.

The electrical installation itself should always be carried out by a qualified electrician. We prepare the framing and openings so lighting and other fittings can be installed cleanly.

How we work

  • Discuss

    We talk through the space, the ceiling type and any services that need to be accommodated.

  • Set out and frame

    We mark the levels and fix the framework, so that the finished ceiling is straight and level.

  • Board and finish

    We fix the plasterboard and prepare the joints, leaving a surface ready for decoration.

  • Tidy up

    We clear the work area when the job is done.
