What is different about partitioning in Wokingham?
Across Wokingham we see a lot of mixed-use space — offices next to workshops, clinics or showrooms — where partitions have to deal with noise, dust or fire separation as well as privacy.
In Wokingham, installations are often completed in a few days, and we can usually start on site soon after drawings are signed off because the survey answers the practical questions early.
What do fire rated partition walls cost in Wokingham?
The required duration (30, 60 or 90 minutes), number of fire board layers, wall height and the extent of fire stopping around services and at the head set the price. Typical lead time: 1–3 weeks. Guide prices, supply and install — fixed after a free survey.
Why do Wokingham businesses choose us?
Built to the tested system
We follow the manufacturer's tested details for studs, boards, fixings and head, so the wall achieves the classification it is meant to have.
Landlord-ready paperwork
Drawings, method statements and risk assessments are supplied for your landlord or managing agent's approval.
One point of contact
A single project contact handles survey, drawings, ordering and installation, so you are not chasing different trades.
Handover records
You receive the system classification, fire-stopping record and photographs, giving your fire risk assessor and Building Control clear evidence of what was built.
Typical fire rated partition walls projects we see in Wokingham include protected escape corridors, stair and lift enclosures and server, comms and plant rooms. Services crossing the wall are coordinated in advance and sealed with tested products, which is where most fire walls actually fail in inspections.
What specification is typical?
| Boarding | One to three layers of 12.5mm or 15mm fire-resistant plasterboard each side |
|---|---|
| Head detail | Tested fire-rated deflection head to accommodate slab movement |
| Fire stopping | Tested collars, wraps, sealants and batts for every penetration |
Do you survey in Wokingham?
From our Birmingham office (around 92 miles away) we coordinate surveys and installations throughout South East. In Wokingham, that means a free measured survey and a written, fixed quote.
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.

Questions about fire rated partition walls in Wokingham
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Wokingham?
Our guide price for fire rated partition walls is £75–£125 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Wokingham 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 Wokingham office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Wokingham 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 makes a partition wall fire rated?
A partition wall is fire rated when it is built to a manufacturer's tested system, using the specified studs, fire-resistant boards, insulation, fixings and head detail, and installed exactly as tested. Every service penetration must also be fire stopped with compatible tested products. Using fire board alone does not make a wall fire rated.
Do fire rated walls need fire doors?
Yes. A door in a fire rated wall must be a fire door set tested to the same or appropriate rating, with compatible frame, hinges, closer, seals and signage. A standard door undermines the wall. We supply complete tested door sets and can check existing doors for suitability.
