What should East Sussex projects plan for?
Older stock across Brighton — period buildings, converted warehouses and 1960s–80s blocks — tends to have uneven floors and varied ceiling heights, which is why every quote here follows a measured survey rather than a guess.
Across Brighton we see a lot of mixed-use space — offices next to workshops, clinics or showrooms — where partitions have to deal with noise, dust or fire separation as well as privacy.
How much do fire rated glass partitions cost in East Sussex?
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 East Sussex?
Free survey in Brighton
We measure the space, check ceilings, floors and services, and talk through how you want the office to work before anything is priced.
Light through fire lines
Corridors, stair lobbies and compartment walls can stay bright and open while still meeting the fire strategy, instead of becoming dark solid-walled routes.
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.
Tidy, protected sites
Floors and finishes are protected, waste is removed and the area is cleaned before handover.
Some partitions are more than room dividers. Where a wall separates a corridor that forms an escape route, encloses a stair or plant room, or forms part of a fire compartment, it has to hold back fire and sometimes heat for a specified period. A fire rated glazed partition does that while still letting light through. The requirement normally comes from the fire strategy for the building or from Building Control, and it sets both the duration and whether the wall needs integrity only (E) or integrity and insulation (EI).

Surveys across East Sussex
Survey visits across East Sussex — including Brighton, Brighton and Hove — are free and carry no obligation. We measure, photograph and note services so the quote is accurate first time.
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 East Sussex: FAQs
Do you install fire rated glass partitions in Brighton?
Yes. We survey, supply and install fire rated glass partitions throughout Brighton and the wider East Sussex area, including Brighton and Hove. The survey is free and you receive a fixed, written quote before any work is booked.
Can you work out of hours at our Brighton office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Brighton so the office keeps running. Out-of-hours working usually adds a percentage to the labour cost, which is shown clearly on the quote.
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.
