Planning fire rated partition walls in Derry: local points
Offices in Derry range from first-floor suites above the high street to modern units on the edge of town, and the right partition system depends as much on the building as on the budget.
In Derry, 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.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Derry?
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 Derry businesses choose us?
Clear guide prices online
Our fire rated partition walls prices are published as guide ranges, so you can budget before the survey.
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.
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.
Typical fire rated partition walls projects we see in Derry include protected escape corridors, stair and lift enclosures and riser enclosures. Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.
What specification is typical?
| Classification | EI 30, EI 60 or EI 90 integrity and insulation, to the tested system |
|---|---|
| Framing | Steel studs 50–146mm at the system's specified centres |
| Acoustic performance | Approx. Rw 45–55 dB depending on build-up (lab) |
Do you survey in Derry?
Derry sits about 277 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 Northern Ireland, the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) apply and are administered by the local council's building control team; we flag anything that may need approval at survey stage.
What happens next?

Manufacture and planning
Glass and components are made to the surveyed sizes while we plan access, deliveries and any out-of-hours working.
Install and sign-off
We fit the partitions with minimal disruption, complete snagging and walk you through the finished space.
Questions about fire rated partition walls in Derry
Do you install fire rated partition walls in Derry?
Yes. We survey, supply and install fire rated partition walls throughout Derry and the wider County Londonderry area, including Strabane and Limavady. The survey is free and you receive a fixed, written quote before any work is booked.
How soon can you start on a Derry 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 Derry office that stays open.
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.
