Upgrading fire protection in an existing ceiling is one of the more awkward jobs in a refurbishment. You are working to a line somebody else set, around services nobody drew, often in a building that is still half occupied.
A client on an Isleworth commercial refurbishment, on Google:
"They carried out the fire protection to the existing ceilings along with partitioning, plasterboarding and tape and jointing throughout the project. The quality of the workmanship was excellent, the site was kept tidy, and they worked well alongside the other trades to keep the programme moving."
That last part is the whole job. A ceiling becomes the critical path when the ceiling contractor is difficult to work around, not when the work itself is slow.
