Typical lead time: 1–3 weeks

What should Devon projects plan for?

Exeter has a broad mix of workplaces — town-centre offices, business parks, healthcare sites and light industrial units — and each needs a slightly different approach to fixing, acoustics and access.

For Exeter buildings with older timber floors or plastered ceilings, we check fixings and deflection on survey so the partitions stay true once the building moves with the seasons.

How much do acoustic partition walls cost in Devon?

£80–£130 per m² + VAT

The number of board layers, use of twin or staggered studs or resilient bars, cavity insulation depth and full-height detailing to the slab determine where a wall falls in the range. Typical lead time: 1–3 weeks. Guide prices, supply and install — fixed after a free survey.

Why choose us in Devon?

Fixed price, in writing

Your quote lists the system, glass, doors, finishes and any extras, so the figure you approve is the figure you pay.

Built to a target

We work to a specified rating and detail the junctions that decide it, rather than adding insulation and hoping the wall performs on the day.

Quieter neighbours

Separating meeting rooms, kitchens and print areas from desks reduces distraction, so people working in the open office can concentrate without headphones.

One point of contact

A single project contact handles survey, drawings, ordering and installation, so you are not chasing different trades.

We usually specify acoustic walls for HR rooms, board rooms, training rooms beside desks, music and podcast spaces, and offices next to plant or kitchens. The details matter as much as the wall: running it to the underside of the slab, sealing the head and base with acoustic sealant, back-boxing sockets so they are not back-to-back, and choosing sealed acoustic door sets. Done properly, a double-layer acoustic stud wall gives far better privacy than any single glazed partition and is still quick to build.

Key specifications

Framing	Steel studs 70–146mm; staggered or twin frames for higher ratings
Boarding	Two layers of 12.5mm or 15mm acoustic or high-density plasterboard each side
Insulation	50–100mm acoustic mineral wool in the cavity
Doors	Acoustic door sets with drop seals and perimeter seals, typically Rw 30–40 dB

Surveys across Devon

We cover Exeter along with nearby Exeter, Plymouth and Torquay. Surveys are free and usually take under an hour for a typical office floor.

In England, partition works that affect fire safety or means of escape fall under the Building Regulations, so we flag anything that may need Building Control at survey stage.

Acoustic Partition Walls in Devon: FAQs

How soon can you start on a Exeter project?

Typical lead time for acoustic partition walls is 1–3 weeks from signed-off drawings, mostly because materials are made to measure. Installation itself is usually a matter of days for a typical office, and we can phase work around a Exeter office that stays open.

Will our Exeter landlord need to approve the partitions?

If you lease your Exeter office, the lease will usually require landlord consent — often a licence for alterations — before partitions are installed. We supply drawings, specifications and method statements to support the application.

How much do acoustic partition walls cost?

Acoustic partition walls typically cost £80–£130 per m² supplied and installed, excluding VAT. A double-layer acoustic board wall with insulation sits at the lower end; twin frames, resilient bars and full-height detailing to the slab push it higher. Acoustic doors are priced separately. We confirm a fixed price after a free survey.

Do acoustic walls need to go up to the ceiling slab?

For good results, yes. If a wall stops at a suspended ceiling, sound travels over it through the void, and the wall's own rating becomes largely irrelevant. Running the wall to the slab, or fitting a barrier in the void, is usually the single biggest improvement.
