Planning fire rated glass partitions in Kettering: local points
Offices in Kettering range from first-floor suites above the high street to modern units on the edge of town, and the right partition system depends as much on the building as on the budget.
For Kettering 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 Kettering?
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 Kettering businesses choose us?
Work around your hours
Evening and weekend installation can be arranged for occupied Kettering offices, keeping disruption to a minimum.
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.
Snagging and aftercare
We return to adjust doors and closers after the building settles, and repairs or alterations are only a call away.
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.
Typical fire rated glass partitions projects we see in Kettering include compartment walls between tenancies, protected reception areas and kitchen and tea point enclosures. 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.

Do you survey in Kettering?
If you are in Kettering or close by in Wellingborough or Rushden, book a free survey and we will come and measure. You will receive drawings and a fixed price before you commit to anything.
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.

Installation is completed, doors and seals are adjusted, the area is cleaned and the job is signed off with you.
Kettering fire rated glass partitions FAQs
How much do fire rated glass partitions cost in Kettering?
Our guide price for fire rated glass partitions is £850–£1,400 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Kettering project depends on the measured size, doors, glass or board specification and access, and is fixed after the free survey.
Can you work out of hours at our Kettering office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Kettering 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.
