What should Hampshire projects plan for?
Parking and loading in central Southampton 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.
For Southampton buildings with older timber floors or plastered ceilings, we check fixings and deflection on survey so the partitions stay true once the building moves with the seasons.
How much do fire rated glass partitions cost in Hampshire?
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 Hampshire?
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.
Snagging and aftercare
We return to adjust doors and closers after the building settles, and repairs or alterations are only a call away.
Covering all of Hampshire
Survey and installation teams cover Southampton and the wider Hampshire area, including Southampton and Portsmouth.
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.
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 Hampshire
We cover Southampton along with nearby Southampton, Portsmouth and Winchester. 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 Hampshire: FAQs
Will our Southampton landlord need to approve the partitions?
If you lease your Southampton 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 Southampton?
Yes. As well as Southampton we regularly cover Southampton, Portsmouth and Winchester, plus the rest of Hampshire 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.
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.
