Planning fire rated partition walls in Hove: local points
Across Hove we see a lot of mixed-use space — offices next to workshops, clinics or showrooms — where partitions have to deal with noise, dust or fire separation as well as privacy.
For Hove 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.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Hove?
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 Hove businesses choose us?
Snagging and aftercare
We return to adjust doors and closers after the building settles, and repairs or alterations are only a call away.
Built to the tested system
We follow the manufacturer's tested details for studs, boards, fixings and head, so the wall achieves the classification it is meant to have.
Landlord-ready paperwork
Drawings, method statements and risk assessments are supplied for your landlord or managing agent's approval.
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 Hove include server, comms and plant rooms, tenancy separation walls and kitchens and storage rooms. Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.

Do you survey in Hove?
Survey visits across East Sussex — including Hove, Brighton and Lewes — 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.
What happens next?

We take accurate measurements on site in Hove, check the ceiling void and floor, and agree what the new layout must achieve.

Fire Rated Partition Walls in Hove: FAQs
Can you work out of hours at our Hove office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Hove so the office keeps running. Out-of-hours working usually adds a percentage to the labour cost, which is shown clearly on the quote.
Do you cover areas near Hove?
Yes. As well as Hove we regularly cover Brighton, Lewes and Burgess Hill, plus the rest of East Sussex and South East. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.
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.
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 Hove project is a single room or a whole floor, we will survey, design and install your fire rated partition walls with one team.
