What is different about partitioning in Bournemouth?
For Bournemouth offices that stay occupied during the works, we split the installation into zones so only a small part of the floor is affected at any one time.
Where a Bournemouth building has a managing agent, we provide method statements, risk assessments and drawings in advance so the licence for alterations is not held up.
What do fire rated glass partitions cost in Bournemouth?
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 do Bournemouth businesses choose us?
Landlord-ready paperwork
Drawings, method statements and risk assessments are supplied for your landlord or managing agent's approval.
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.
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.
Tested systems, documented
We use manufacturers' tested partition systems and hand over the relevant performance and test evidence at completion.
Typical fire rated glass partitions projects we see in Bournemouth include escape corridors, stair and lift lobbies and protected reception areas. Fire-rated glazed doors are supplied as complete tested door sets with compatible hardware, avoiding the common fault of mixing uncertified components.

Covering Bournemouth and nearby
Our office is in Great Barr, Birmingham — roughly 127 miles from Bournemouth 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.

Bournemouth fire rated glass partitions FAQs
Can you work out of hours at our Bournemouth office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Bournemouth so the office keeps running. Out-of-hours working usually adds a percentage to the labour cost, which is shown clearly on the quote.
Do you cover areas near Bournemouth?
Yes. As well as Bournemouth we regularly cover Christchurch, Poole and Dorchester, plus the rest of Dorset and South West. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.
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.
Do I need fire rated glass partitions in my office?
You need them where a glazed partition forms part of a fire compartment, protected escape route, stair enclosure or similar line in the building's fire strategy. Ordinary meeting rooms in an open-plan floor usually do not. Check with your fire engineer or Building Control; we review the drawings at survey and flag any likely requirement.
