What is different about partitioning in Ely?
In and around Ely many offices are in converted buildings, rural business units or small suites, so we design partitions to suit the space rather than forcing a standard layout.
For Ely businesses that share a building, we keep noise, dust and deliveries to agreed windows so neighbours are not disturbed.
What do fire rated glass partitions cost in Ely?
Insulated EI glass costs considerably more than integrity-only E glass, and the duration, frame system and fire-rated door sets account for most of the remaining range. Typical lead time: 4–6 weeks. Guide prices, supply and install — fixed after a free survey.
What do you get with us in Ely?
Compliance designed in
We check the required duration and E or EI class against your fire strategy before ordering, so the wall is right first time rather than reworked.
Evidence handed over
We provide the manufacturer's test evidence and classification for the installed system, so Building Control, insurers and landlords can verify what is in the wall.
Snagging and aftercare
We return to adjust doors and closers after the building settles, and repairs or alterations are only a call away.
Work around your hours
Evening and weekend installation can be arranged for occupied Ely offices, keeping disruption to a minimum.
Typical fire rated glass partitions projects we see in Ely include escape corridors, server and plant room fronts and kitchen and tea point enclosures. Corridors, stair lobbies and compartment walls can stay bright and open while still meeting the fire strategy, instead of becoming dark solid-walled routes.
Key specifications
| Classification | E 30 / E 60 (integrity) or EI 30 / EI 60 (integrity and insulation) |
|---|---|
| Glass | Fire-resistant toughened or laminated (E); multi-layer intumescent insulating glass (EI) |
| Doors | Matching fire-rated glazed door sets with tested hinges, closers, locks and smoke seals |
Covering Ely and nearby
Our office is in Great Barr, Birmingham — roughly 93 miles from Ely as the crow flies — and survey and installation teams are arranged regionally, so distance does not change the price structure.
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.

Fire Rated Glass Partitions in Ely: FAQs
Do you install fire rated glass partitions in Ely?
Yes. We survey, supply and install fire rated glass partitions throughout Ely and the wider Cambridgeshire area, including Newmarket and Cambridge. The survey is free and you receive a fixed, written quote before any work is booked.
How soon can you start on a Ely project?
Typical lead time for fire rated glass partitions is 4–6 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 Ely office that stays open.
How much do fire rated glass partitions cost?
Fire rated glass partitions typically cost £850–£1,400 per m² supplied and installed, excluding VAT. Integrity-only E 30 systems sit at the lower end; insulated EI 60 systems with fire-rated door sets sit at the top. We confirm a fixed price after a free survey and once the required classification is agreed with your fire engineer.
What is the difference between E and EI fire rated glass?
E rated glass provides integrity only: it stops flames and hot gases passing through for the stated time but transmits heat. EI rated glass also provides insulation, limiting the temperature on the protected side, so people can pass close to it safely. EI is required in many escape routes and costs considerably more.
