Planning fire rated glass partitions in Cardiff: local points
City-centre floors in Cardiff often come with raised access floors, high suspended ceilings and busy shared lobbies, so we plan deliveries, lift bookings and permits with the building manager before the team arrives.
Many Cardiff 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.
How much do fire rated glass partitions cost in Cardiff?
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 Cardiff?
Snagging and aftercare
We return to adjust doors and closers after the building settles, and repairs or alterations are only a call away.
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.
Clear guide prices online
Our fire rated glass partitions prices are published as guide ranges, so you can budget before the survey.
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.
Typical fire rated glass partitions projects we see in Cardiff include stair and lift lobbies, compartment walls between tenancies 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 Cardiff?
Cardiff sits about 91 miles from our Birmingham base. Surveys are booked at a time that suits you, including early mornings, and the same project contact stays with you through to installation.
In Wales, the Building Regulations apply with Welsh-specific guidance, so we flag anything that may need Building Control — usually fire or escape-route changes — at survey stage.
What happens next?
Book a survey
A member of the team measures the Cardiff office, notes access and services, and discusses layout, privacy and acoustics with you.
Design and fixed price
You receive a layout, specification and a fixed, itemised quote. Nothing is ordered until you are happy with the drawings.
Order and schedule
Materials are ordered to exact sizes and we agree installation dates, working hours and site rules with you.
Installation and handover
The team installs, snags and cleans, then hands over the site with any test evidence and care guidance.
Questions about fire rated glass partitions in Cardiff
How soon can you start on a Cardiff 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 Cardiff office that stays open.
Will our Cardiff landlord need to approve the partitions?
If you lease your Cardiff 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.
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.
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.
Whether your Cardiff project is a single room or a whole floor, we will survey, design and install your fire rated glass partitions with one team.
