How do Poole buildings affect the install?
Plenty of Poole businesses are growing into space they already lease, so we often reconfigure existing partitions and add new rooms in the same project.
Where a Poole building has a managing agent, we provide method statements, risk assessments and drawings in advance so the licence for alterations is not held up.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Poole?
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 Poole?
Covering all of Dorset
Survey and installation teams cover Poole and the wider Dorset area, including Bournemouth and Christchurch.
Clear guide prices online
Our fire rated partition walls prices are published as guide ranges, so you can budget before the survey.
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.
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 Poole include protected escape corridors, server, comms and plant rooms and riser enclosures. We follow the manufacturer's tested details for studs, boards, fixings and head, so the wall achieves the classification it is meant to have.
What specification is typical?
| Classification | EI 30, EI 60 or EI 90 integrity and insulation, to the tested system |
|---|---|
| Test standard | Non-loadbearing walls tested to BS EN 1364-1 (older data to BS 476-22) |
| Head detail | Tested fire-rated deflection head to accommodate slab movement |
Covering Poole and nearby
Survey visits across Dorset — including Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch — are free and carry no obligation. We measure, photograph and note services so the quote is accurate first time.
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.

Questions about fire rated partition walls in Poole
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Poole?
Our guide price for fire rated partition walls is £75–£125 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Poole 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 Poole 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 Poole 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.
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.
Whether your Poole project is a single room or a whole floor, we will survey, design and install your fire rated partition walls with one team.
