What is different about partitioning in City of London?
Older stock across City of London — 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.
Many City of London occupiers are on shorter leases or flexible terms, so we talk through demountable options and dilapidations at the start rather than leaving them for the end of the lease.
Fire Rated Glass Partitions prices in City of London
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 City of London?
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.
Clear guide prices online
Our fire rated glass partitions prices are published as guide ranges, so you can budget before the survey.
Matched door sets
Fire-rated glazed doors are supplied as complete tested door sets with compatible hardware, avoiding the common fault of mixing uncertified components.
Work around your hours
Evening and weekend installation can be arranged for occupied City of London offices, keeping disruption to a minimum.
Typical fire rated glass partitions projects we see in City of London include escape corridors, stair and lift lobbies and server and plant room fronts. 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.

How do surveys work in City of London?
Survey visits across Greater London — including City of London, Southwark and Westminster — 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.
How does a City of London project run?
Measure and assess

Drawings and quote
We prepare drawings and an itemised fixed price, adjusting the design until it works for your team and budget.
Manufacture and planning
Glass and components are made to the surveyed sizes while we plan access, deliveries and any out-of-hours working.
Fit, check and hand over
Installation is completed, doors and seals are adjusted, the area is cleaned and the job is signed off with you.
Fire Rated Glass Partitions in City of London: FAQs
How soon can you start on a City of London 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 City of London office that stays open.
Can you work out of hours at our City of London office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in City of London so the office keeps running. Out-of-hours working usually adds a percentage to the labour cost, which is shown clearly on the quote.
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.
Is the glass alone enough to make a partition fire rated?
No. Fire performance applies only to the complete tested system, meaning the glass, frame, seals, fixings and door hardware installed as tested. Fitting fire-rated glass into a standard frame does not create a fire-rated wall. We supply complete tested systems and hand over the manufacturer's test evidence and classification.
