Suspended Ceilings · Fire-Rated Systems · Acoustic Solutions
Design, supply and installation of suspended ceiling systems for commercial and public-sector buildings across the UK — including fire-rated and acoustic specifications — installed to maintain compartmentation where the ceiling forms part of the fire-resisting construction, and documented accordingly.
What we do
Design, supply and installation of suspended ceiling systems for commercial and public sector buildings — including fire-rated and acoustic specifications. Where the ceiling forms part of the fire-resisting construction, it's installed to maintain compartmentation and documented accordingly, with the void above it fire-stopped by our own fire stopping team and cavity barriers fitted where the void requires them.
Grid, tile and fire-rated ceiling systems supplied and installed for offices, retail, healthcare and public sector spaces — exposed and concealed grid, mineral fibre, metal and specialist tiles.

One specialist team, mobilised nationally. MGN operates from Cumbernauld, between Glasgow and Edinburgh, and installs ceiling systems across Scotland, England and Wales.
MGN serves commercial landlords, housing associations, NHS facilities and facilities management companies across Greater Glasgow, Edinburgh and the Lothians, and the wider Central Belt. Edinburgh's mix of listed buildings, converted tenements and modern commercial space calls for ceiling systems that balance fire performance, acoustics and appearance. Whether you're fitting out a new commercial space or upgrading ceilings in an existing building, our Scottish team delivers within days.
We install and refurbish ceilings for commercial estates, public-sector bodies and main contractors across England and Wales, from single-floor replacements to phased programmes across a portfolio — coordinated centrally, executed locally, and documented to one standard.

Our credentials
Accreditation means an independent body has verified our processes, training and workmanship — not just our paperwork.
Fire door installation & maintenance
BM TRADA Q-Mark is the UK gold standard for fire door installation and maintenance. Holding this certification means our entire installation process — from specification to sign-off — has been independently assessed and approved. You can verify MGN's registration directly on the BM TRADA scheme website.
Verify our registrationFire door inspection certification
The Fire Door Inspection Scheme (FDIS) is the only nationally recognised scheme for fire door inspection in the UK. Only FDIS-registered inspectors can issue a fire door inspection certificate that carries genuine third-party weight with insurers and enforcing authorities. Most contractors offering fire door inspections are not FDIS registered.
Verify our registrationHealth & safety pre-qualification
CHAS (Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme) is the standard pre-qualification requirement for most public sector procurement across the UK. If your building is NHS, council or publicly funded, MGN's CHAS accreditation means we can be appointed without additional vetting.
Institute of Fire Safety Managers
IFSM membership demonstrates ongoing commitment to professional development and regulatory awareness in fire safety management. It is a signal that MGN's team stays current with legislative changes and best practice — not just at time of certification, but continuously.

Why MGN
Where a suspended ceiling forms part of a building's fire-resisting construction, it must be installed and documented to maintain compartmentation. A fire-rated ceiling that's incorrectly installed can breach a compartment line without anyone realising.
Ceiling systems specified to the required fire rating and acoustic performance, installed to maintain compartmentation where needed.
Time-served ceiling fixers on our own books, not subcontracted labour — consistent quality and accountability.
A quarter-century of commercial fit-out and refurbishment across the public and private sector, now delivered UK-wide.
Where a ceiling is part of the fire strategy, the system, its installation and its documentation all matter. MGN installs fire-rated ceilings to specification and documents them as part of the job.
Quick answers
Exposed and concealed grid systems with mineral fibre, metal, plasterboard and specialist tiles; MF plasterboard ceilings and bulkheads; and fire-rated and acoustic systems. We'll recommend the system that fits the space's fire, acoustic, hygiene and access requirements and its budget.
Where the fire strategy requires it, yes. We install fire-resisting ceiling systems and membranes to manufacturer-tested details, and fire-stop the void above so the ceiling maintains compartmentation. Where fire performance isn't required, we install standard commercial systems.
Yes. Ceiling replacement in live offices, healthcare and education buildings is a large part of our work. We phase installations area by area, protect furniture and equipment, and work out of hours where needed.
Yes. We set out the grid to the reflected ceiling plan and coordinate with the M&E contractor for luminaires, grilles, sprinklers and detectors — and where services penetrate a fire-rated ceiling, our own team fire-stops them.
Yes. MGN installs and refurbishes ceiling systems for commercial and public-sector clients across Scotland, England and Wales, including multi-site programmes managed under a single contract.
