What should Brighton offices plan for?
A lot of Brighton's office space sits in multi-let buildings where the landlord's fit-out rules set what can fix to ceilings and floors. We read those rules early so the design is approved first time.
Parking and loading in central Brighton can be restricted, so glass deliveries are booked into agreed slots and panels are sized to fit the lifts and stairwells we measured on survey.
How much do fire rated glass partitions cost in Brighton?
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 Brighton?
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.
Landlord-ready paperwork
Drawings, method statements and risk assessments are supplied for your landlord or managing agent's approval.
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.
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.
Typical fire rated glass partitions projects we see in Brighton include stair and lift lobbies, compartment walls between tenancies 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.

How do surveys work in Brighton?
From our Birmingham office (around 142 miles away) we coordinate surveys and installations throughout South East. In Brighton, that means a free measured survey and a written, fixed quote.
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.
From survey to handover
Measure and assess
We take accurate measurements on site in Brighton, check the ceiling void and floor, and agree what the new layout must achieve.
Drawings and quote
We prepare drawings and an itemised fixed price, adjusting the design until it works for your team and budget.
Production and logistics
Made-to-measure panels are produced and we book deliveries, lifts and parking around your building.
Installation and handover
The team installs, snags and cleans, then hands over the site with any test evidence and care guidance.
Fire Rated Glass Partitions in Brighton: FAQs
Will our Brighton landlord need to approve the partitions?
If you lease your Brighton 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.
Do you cover areas near Brighton?
Yes. As well as Brighton we regularly cover Hove, Lewes and Burgess Hill, plus the rest of East Sussex and South East. 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.
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.
