What should Wiltshire projects plan for?
Swindon has a broad mix of workplaces — town-centre offices, business parks, healthcare sites and light industrial units — and each needs a slightly different approach to fixing, acoustics and access.
For Swindon 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 Wiltshire?
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 Wiltshire?
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.
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.
Tidy, protected sites
Floors and finishes are protected, waste is removed and the area is cleaned before handover.
Landlord-ready paperwork
Drawings, method statements and risk assessments are supplied for your landlord or managing agent's approval.
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.
Key specifications
| Classification | E 30 / E 60 (integrity) or EI 30 / EI 60 (integrity and insulation) |
|---|---|
| Door test standard | Fire door sets tested to BS EN 1634-1 (older systems to BS 476-22) |
| Acoustic | EI glass typically gives approx. Rw 38–45 dB depending on build-up (lab) |
| Regulations | Approved Document B; Approved Document K for safety glazing and manifestation |
Surveys across Wiltshire
Survey visits across Wiltshire — including Swindon, Swindon and Salisbury — 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 project run?
Book a survey
A member of the team measures the Swindon office, notes access and services, and discusses layout, privacy and acoustics with you.
Drawings and quote
We prepare drawings and an itemised fixed price, adjusting the design until it works for your team and budget.
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.

Fire Rated Glass Partitions in Wiltshire: FAQs
How much do fire rated glass partitions cost in Swindon?
Our guide price for fire rated glass partitions is £850–£1,400 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Swindon project depends on the measured size, doors, glass or board specification and access, and is fixed after the free survey.
How soon can you start on a Swindon 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 Swindon office that stays open.
Do I need fire rated glass partitions in my office?
You need them where a glazed partition forms part of a fire compartment, protected escape route, stair enclosure or similar line in the building's fire strategy. Ordinary meeting rooms in an open-plan floor usually do not. Check with your fire engineer or Building Control; we review the drawings at survey and flag any likely requirement.
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.
