Interior fit-out specialist in ceilings, dry lining and glass partitions - across Kent and South East England.

Family-run since 1966, Shepway Commercial is one of Kent’s longest-established specialist interior contractors. Our Ceilings & Partitions division directly employs a team of highly qualified and experienced ceiling fixers, dry liners, plasterers and jointers delivering the same high standard, project after project.

Roughly half our work is as a specialist sub-contractor on larger projects such as schools, hospitals, laboratories and commercial offices. The other half is direct to the end user — building owners, occupiers and estates teams on standalone fit-outs, refurbishments and reactive works.

We don’t design or specify — we install what the architect has drawn, to the standard the design demands. Our objective is straightforward: complete every project on programme, without compromising the quality of the finished product.

Quality lives in the detail

The difference between a competent fit-out and a high-quality one is rarely visible from a tender drawing — it shows up in the details:

✓ Grid lines aligned with partition lines, doors and light fittings
 
✓ Plasterboard joints set out to avoid corner cracks at door reveals
 
✓ Fire-rated ceilings with cavity barriers correctly bridged
 
✓ Service penetrations sealed and recorded for hand-over
✓ Perimeter trims cut accurately to irregular soffit conditions
 
✓ Acoustic seals at partition heads and bases – installed, not assumed
 
✓ Glass partition silicone joints finished to a consistent line
 
✓ Final decoration handed over without crack-line shadowing
