What is different about partitioning in Barrow-in-Furness?
Offices in Barrow-in-Furness 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.
For Barrow-in-Furness buildings with older timber floors or plastered ceilings, we check fixings and deflection on survey so the partitions stay true once the building moves with the seasons.

Why do Barrow-in-Furness businesses choose us?
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.
Landlord-ready paperwork
Drawings, method statements and risk assessments are supplied for your landlord or managing agent's approval.
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 Barrow-in-Furness include stair and lift enclosures, tenancy separation walls and kitchens and storage rooms. You receive the system classification, fire-stopping record and photographs, giving your fire risk assessor and Building Control clear evidence of what was built.

We confirm a fixed price after a free survey.
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.
