Where to Find Replacement Burgess CEP Ceiling Tiles in the UK

Replacement Burgess CEP ceiling tiles are available in the UK from specialist ceiling tile suppliers who stock metal tiles — not the general builders’ merchants that carry only mineral fibre. RCT holds Burgess CEP metal tiles in stock, in plain and perforated finishes and in lay-in, tegular and clip-in formats, for fast UK-wide delivery. This guide explains where to source them, how to identify the tile you need, and what to expect on availability and lead time.

Why a specialist supplier matters

Most ceiling tiles sold by general merchants are soft mineral fibre. Burgess CEP tiles are metal, a more specialist product, so the place to source them is a supplier that genuinely stocks metal ceilings and understands the fixing formats. A specialist can match the size, edge, grid and perforation pattern correctly — and identify a current equivalent where an older tile has changed — rather than sending a mineral fibre tile that will not fit or match.

What RCT stocks

RCT carries UK-made Burgess CEP metal tiles, all white and 595mm-based (with plain square edge also in 1195mm x 595mm):

Classcare Square Edge — the budget tile, from around £1.49 each + VAT.
Plain Square Edge — lay-in, for 15mm or 24mm grid (595mm) and 24mm grid (1195mm).
Tegular Plain — tegular (24mm grid) or microlook (15mm grid).
Tegular D278 — the perforated D278 pattern in tegular and microlook.
D278 Perforation Clip-In — bevelled clip-in perforated tile.
Plain Clip-In — plain white clip-in tile, typically RAL 9010.

How to identify the tile you need

Size — measure the tile: 595mm x 595mm or 1195mm x 595mm.
Edge and fixing — square lay-in, tegular, microlook, or clip-in.
Grid width — 15mm or 24mm exposed grid (clip-in tiles attach differently).
Finish — plain or perforated; photograph any perforation pattern (e.g. D278).
Photos — face, edge and the back/fixing, plus any code on the tile.

Availability and lead time

RCT carries large stocks, so most Burgess CEP orders are delivered within 2–3 days, with next-day or specific-day delivery available on request. Deliveries cover England, Scotland and Wales daily; some islands and Ireland are typically weekly. Carriage usually ranges from around £8 to £40 depending on location and quantity, confirmed by the sales team when the order is placed.

If the exact tile has changed

Burgess CEP products have evolved over the decades, so an older ceiling may not map to an identical current tile. A specialist supplier can identify the closest current equivalent or arrange a specially made tile for an exact match — RCT has supplied this material since the 1960s and handles non-standard requirements regularly. Either way, sourcing replacement tiles is far cheaper than re-ceiling the space.
