What is different about partitioning in Tiverton?
For Tiverton businesses that share a building, we keep noise, dust and deliveries to agreed windows so neighbours are not disturbed.
A small team in Tiverton 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.
Fire Rated Partition Walls prices in Tiverton
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.
What do you get with us in Tiverton?
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.
Work around your hours
Evening and weekend installation can be arranged for occupied Tiverton offices, keeping disruption to a minimum.
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 Tiverton include protected escape corridors, stair and lift enclosures and server, comms and plant 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.

How do surveys work in Tiverton?
Tiverton sits about 132 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.

The team installs, snags and cleans, then hands over the site with any test evidence and care guidance.
Fire Rated Partition Walls in Tiverton: FAQs
How soon can you start on a Tiverton 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 Tiverton office that stays open.
Will our Tiverton landlord need to approve the partitions?
If you lease your Tiverton office, the lease will usually require landlord consent — often a licence for alterations — before partitions are installed. We supply drawings, specifications and method statements to support the application.
How much does a fire rated partition wall cost?
Fire rated partition walls typically cost £75–£125 per m² supplied and installed, excluding VAT. A 30-minute wall with one layer of fire board each side sits at the lower end; 60 or 90-minute walls with multiple layers and extensive fire stopping sit at the top. Fire doors are priced separately. We confirm a fixed price after a free survey.
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.
