We are renowned for our expertise in commercial ceiling installation projects. We have been delivering our high standard of work for the last 19 years and, as such, our name has become synonymous with quality.

Established in 1998

Taylor Hart began working almost entirely in the demanding retail sector of construction in 1998. We concentrated largely on supplying suspended ceilings and drywall installation services across Birmingham and the West Midlands. Throughout the years our service offering has expanded to include a wider portfolio of interrelated trades.

Leading Ceiling Installation Company

The ability to use one contractor to carry a project through to completion is what makes us one of the leading ceiling installation companies Birmingham.

Our dedication and expertise has been acknowledged through a series of industry awards that demonstrates the high level of commitment we bring to every project.

Full Project Management

Whatever you require from your commercial ceiling project, we can help. We cover all parts of the process, from inception to execution, so you can get the ceiling that is right for you. Our experts will help advise you on the best drop down ceiling types for your project.

Expert Advice

The planning stage is one of the most important. So we make it our business to spend time listening to you to understand your project goals. By doing this, we ensure you get to explore the range of ceiling options available and can make informed decisions about the ideal type for your needs.

On Time & On Budget

By carefully exploring the options and discussing your requirements, you can also be sure that we will deliver on time and on budget.

It’s this commitment to customer service that makes us one of the best ceiling installation companies Birmingham.

What Commercial Ceiling Installations Do Taylor Hart Offer?

Your specific commercial ceiling requirements will largely dictate what ceiling type is most suitable.

At Taylor Hart, we can provide mineral fibre ceilings or metal ceilings.

Mineral Fibre Ceilings

Mineral fibre ceilings have become more or less the standard choice for offices and schools across the country.

Offering excellent consistency of style, durability, superb soundproofing and acoustic control, they are an ideal choice.

Furthermore, Mineral Fibre Ceilings offer ease of installation and excellent fire protection.

Attractive and Practical

Mineral fibre ceilings are made up of individual fibre panels that fit together providing an attractive and practical ceiling surface. Their durability means they can handle all sorts of components such as lighting, air con units and all kinds of electrical and mechanical additions which may need to be fixed to a ceiling.

Metal Ceilings

Metal Ceilings are ideal for large-scale building and where the design aesthetic may be more ambitious. They deliver the perfect combination of structural integrity, durability, reliability and flexibility.

While most clients need something practical and simple, our metal ceilings are increasingly being used on projects which require more flair. Because metal sheets can be heated and made malleable, our metal ceilings are perfect for creating dramatic waves, curls, twists and turns, giving them the advantage in flexibility of design.

Highest Standard

Our metal ceilings are always made to the highest standard so that our clients can have beautiful design that is strong and safe. As one of the leading ceiling installation companies Birmingham, clients can trust our ceilings will remain in excellent condition for many years to come.

Highest Specification

Whatever commercial ceiling type you choose, when you use Taylor Hart you can be assured that you are getting the best possible product and service available. When you appoint us as your commercial ceiling installation company, you know that your ceiling and installation will be of the highest specification. We take great pride in our work to achieve our client’s specifications, no matter how big or small the project may be.

Use Taylor Hart, use the best.

Key Commercial Development for Birmingham

The new headquarters are located within the 9.2 acre Arena Central development, adjacent to Centenary Square and the Library of Birmingham. Framed by Broad Street, Holiday Street, Bridge Street and Suffolk Street Queensway, the building forms part of this key commercial development for Birmingham. The bank has roots in the city, from its takeover of Midland Bank back in 1992.

LEED Gold Accreditation

HSBC’s new building will accommodate up to 2,500 people and will be the first in Birmingham to be constructed to LEED (Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design) Gold accreditation.

Innovative Approach

Not only are Taylor Hart, as construction interiors contractors, delighted to be able to work on such a green focused project but are excited to contribute to one that has really taken an innovative approach to designing a work space. It’s clear that considerations have been made about the impact of aesthetics on happiness and wellbeing and the new headquarters, which will be one of Birmingham’s most greenest and innovative buildings, are set to be anything but your typical banking working place.

Modern Design

HSBC have consulted with current employees about the design, which will include different spaces for staff to collaborate and socialise in. Working spaces are built around an ‘open work’ principle too, in order to foster a non-hierarchical culture.

Taylor Hart’s involvement as construction interiors contractors to the project will mean a high end finish.

Initially contracted to carry out base core Category A works to the value of more than £2.5m, Taylor Hart were soon also asked to fit out the building, adding approximately another £2.5m on to the total contract value. That meant the project was the company’s largest ever.

Ceiling Installation Experts

The fit out work Taylor Hart are supplying includes acoustic suspended ceilings, bespoke bronze metal ceilings, drywall linings and partitions, specialist timber ceilings, ceiling void fire and acoustic barriers.

The high grade finish will reflect both the Hong Kong and New York branch headquarters of HSBC.

The topping out of the building back in May, which marked completion of the building’s framework to its highest point, noted by the pouring of the final section of concrete on the building’s 10th floor, has meant since then works have focused on finishing the facade, installing glazing to make the building watertight, and completing the interiors.

The building is due to be handed over to HSBC in the coming months, with the company taking occupancy from 2018.

3. What Is Their Health & Safety Score?

Working on both commercial and residential construction projects, we are interior construction experts and are experienced in a wide range of areas including partitions and drylining, metal ceilings, suspended ceilings, structural stud, rendering, passive fire protection, screeding, GRG (glass reinforced gypsum), mineral fibre ceiling and plastering.

Drylining is a popular system that allows us to effectively plasterboard ceilings and walls in any size and configuration. Using our expertise, we will also take into account other needs such as heatproofing, fireproofing, sound insulation and moisture resistance. Our durable and practical methods and materials mean that the completed boarding is smooth, even and ready to be decorated.

Whether we are creating stud walls in offices or homes, or working on larger scale projects, we use state of the art materials and use our considerable experience to produce a great result every time.

Coloured render mix is also very popular, particularly throughout Bristol and new build apartments, and provides a bright, weather-resistant, one-coat wash of colour. Coloured render products are both cost-effective and virtually maintenance-free as the coloured finish can last up to ten years, if applied correctly by trained rendering contractors.

Is Rendering a DIY Job? | Do I Need Rendering Contractors?

In theory, rendering can be a DIY job depending on the results you want to achieve. To achieve the flawless smooth finish you see on most new builds, then you’re going to need professional rendering contractors as they know which composition of cement, fine sand and lime makes the render a creamy texture you need for the texture you desire. You also need bonding agents, colour pigments and drying additives so it’s best to leave it to the pros if you’re planning a large project! However, if you’re just experimenting at home then you can buy acrylic pre-mixed render which can be applied to a wider variety of surfaces and often with easy-to-use spray equipment.

Here at Taylor Hart, you can leave this all to us. We are equipped with highly trained expert rendering contractors, state of the art equipment and materials and a renowned status for excellent customer satisfaction. We guarantee competitive rates and flexible call out times that suit you.
