What should Peterborough offices plan for?
Plenty of Peterborough businesses are growing into space they already lease, so we often reconfigure existing partitions and add new rooms in the same project.
Where a Peterborough building has a managing agent, we provide method statements, risk assessments and drawings in advance so the licence for alterations is not held up.
What do fire rated partition walls cost in Peterborough?
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 Peterborough businesses choose us?
Covering all of Cambridgeshire
Survey and installation teams cover Peterborough and the wider Cambridgeshire area, including Stamford and Spalding.
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.
One point of contact
A single project contact handles survey, drawings, ordering and installation, so you are not chasing different trades.
Acoustic bonus
Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.
Typical fire rated partition walls projects we see in Peterborough include stair and lift enclosures, riser enclosures and tenancy separation walls. You receive the system classification, fire-stopping record and photographs, giving your fire risk assessor and Building Control clear evidence of what was built.
Key specifications
| Framing | Steel studs 50–146mm at the system's specified centres |
|---|---|
| Fire stopping | Tested collars, wraps, sealants and batts for every penetration |
| Acoustic performance | Approx. Rw 45–55 dB depending on build-up (lab) |
Covering Peterborough and nearby
From our Birmingham office (around 71 miles away) we coordinate surveys and installations throughout East of England. In Peterborough, 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.
How does a Peterborough project run?

Fit, check and hand over
Installation is completed, doors and seals are adjusted, the area is cleaned and the job is signed off with you.
Fire Rated Partition Walls in Peterborough: FAQs
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Peterborough?
Our guide price for fire rated partition walls is £75–£125 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Peterborough 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 Peterborough project?
Typical lead time for fire rated partition walls is 1–3 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 Peterborough office that stays open.
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.
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.
