Office Ceiling Inspections

To ensure the safety of your employees and visitors to your office premises, regular office ceiling inspections are strongly recommended for businesses of all shapes and sizes.  

Any workplace could have dangers lurking in the ceiling, and without a thorough audit being carried out inside the cavity, they may remain “hidden” out of sight until it’s too late.  

If work has not been carried out properly to begin with, or the ceiling isn’t maintained well, there is the potential for those ceiling issues to become greater dangers to those in the workplace.  

Having our professional and experienced staff carry out a comprehensive site audit and report can give you peace of mind, by making sure your ceiling is compliant and nothing in the cavity is at risk of falling from heights and onto one of your staff members.  

If there is a problem, we guarantee we’ll find it. We will then provide photographic evidence and give you an outline of what remediation works should be carried out and in what priority. 

Our Process | Retail Ceiling Inspections

Here’s what you can expect from a retail ceiling inspection conducted by our team:

We will go into the ceiling cavity to conduct a thorough and independent audit.

We take photos of any issues which are identified clearly showing the remediation teams what is required to correct identified issues. 

We provide a comprehensive and accurate list of safety hazardsnon-compliant issues that require action, what remediatiowork needs to be carried out and in what order we recommend these occur. 

During every ceiling inspection and site audit, Benchmark will:

  • Check the grid system, if it’s connected to the wall properly and if its compliant
  • Check whether the ceiling has been suspended correctly to code
  • Check the spacing of the rods which are attached to the grid system and that they’re at correct intervals of 1200mm along with how the suspension rod is secured to the purlin and if the securing clip is compliant.
  • Check if work completed by visiting trades people has been completed to industry standard, and if they’ve removed all debris after repairs, the failure to remove debris is very common, it is hidden, who will know?

Common Office Ceiling Issues we find

For example, an office ceiling may be failing for any number of reasons. These could include:  
  • Plasterboard ceiling is sagging
  • A loud creaking or cracking noise is heard coming from the ceiling or structure 
  • The plasterboard sheeting may be pulling away from the grid if there are blisters (nail pops) or cracks visible  
  • Grid is not level or sagging 
  • Security cameras/ monitors and alike are not level 
  • Grid is separating 
  • Mould on ceiling grid tiles or similar water damage signs
