What is different about partitioning in Marlow?
In and around Marlow many offices are in converted buildings, rural business units or small suites, so we design partitions to suit the space rather than forcing a standard layout.
Smaller Marlow offices often need just a few metres of partitioning — a manager's room, a meeting space or a quiet booth — and we are happy to take on compact jobs as well as larger ones.
Fire Rated Partition Walls prices in Marlow
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 Marlow businesses choose us?
Fixed price, in writing
Your quote lists the system, glass, doors, finishes and any extras, so the figure you approve is the figure you pay.
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.
Tested systems, documented
We use manufacturers' tested partition systems and hand over the relevant performance and test evidence at completion.
Penetrations planned
Services crossing the wall are coordinated in advance and sealed with tested products, which is where most fire walls actually fail in inspections.
Typical fire rated partition walls projects we see in Marlow include stair and lift enclosures, server, comms and plant rooms and kitchens and storage rooms. We follow the manufacturer's tested details for studs, boards, fixings and head, so the wall achieves the classification it is meant to have.
Key specifications
| Framing | Steel studs 50–146mm at the system's specified centres |
|---|---|
| Boarding | One to three layers of 12.5mm or 15mm fire-resistant plasterboard each side |
| Insulation | Mineral wool to the system specification |
How do surveys work in Marlow?
Marlow sits about 84 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 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 Marlow
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Marlow?
Our guide price for fire rated partition walls is £75–£125 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Marlow 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 Marlow office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Marlow 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 long does a fire rated stud wall last in a fire?
Office fire walls are commonly classified for 30, 60 or 90 minutes, such as EI 30 or EI 60. That figure is the time the tested wall maintained integrity and insulation in a standard furnace test. The duration you need is set by the building's fire strategy and Approved Document B.
Who signs off a fire rated partition wall?
Where walls affect escape routes or compartmentation, Building Control normally reviews and inspects the work. Your fire risk assessor will also want evidence for the fire risk assessment. We hand over the system classification, fire-stopping records and photographs so both can verify what was built.
Whether your Marlow project is a single room or a whole floor, we will survey, design and install your fire rated partition walls with one team.
