What should Devon projects plan for?
Plenty of Exeter businesses are growing into space they already lease, so we often reconfigure existing partitions and add new rooms in the same project.
In Exeter, installations are often completed in a few days, and we can usually start on site soon after drawings are signed off because the survey answers the practical questions early.
How much do fire rated glass partitions cost in Devon?
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.
Why choose us in Devon?
Tidy, protected sites
Floors and finishes are protected, waste is removed and the area is cleaned before handover.
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.
Work around your hours
Evening and weekend installation can be arranged for occupied Exeter offices, keeping disruption to a minimum.
That distinction drives cost. Integrity-only glass stops flames and smoke but lets radiant heat through, which may be acceptable in some locations. Insulating glass contains intumescent interlayers that foam in a fire and keep the far side cool enough for people to pass safely, and it is considerably more expensive. We supply complete tested systems and hand over the manufacturer's test evidence and classification for the specified system, so your fire engineer, Building Control and landlord can see exactly what was installed and how it was tested.

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.

Fire Rated Glass Partitions in Devon: FAQs
Do you install fire rated glass partitions in Exeter?
Yes. We survey, supply and install fire rated glass partitions throughout Exeter and the wider Devon area, including Exeter and Plymouth. The survey is free and you receive a fixed, written quote before any work is booked.
How soon can you start on a Exeter 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 Exeter 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.
How long does a fire rated glass partition last in a fire?
Most office systems are classified for 30 or 60 minutes, written as E 30, EI 30, E 60 or EI 60. The figure is the time the tested system kept its integrity, and insulation where stated, in a standard furnace test to BS EN 1364-1. The duration you need is set by the building's fire strategy.
