Planning fire rated partition walls in Ellesmere Port: local points
Smaller Ellesmere Port 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.
A small team in Ellesmere Port usually wants the job done quickly and tidily; most compact installations are finished in one or two days once the glass or boards are ready.

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 use us for fire rated partition walls in Ellesmere Port?
Acoustic bonus
Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.
One point of contact
A single project contact handles survey, drawings, ordering and installation, so you are not chasing different trades.
Landlord-ready paperwork
Drawings, method statements and risk assessments are supplied for your landlord or managing agent's approval.
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 Ellesmere Port include protected escape corridors, tenancy separation walls 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.

Questions about fire rated partition walls in Ellesmere Port

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.
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.
