What should Gloucestershire projects plan for?
Plenty of Gloucester businesses are growing into space they already lease, so we often reconfigure existing partitions and add new rooms in the same project.
Offices in Gloucester 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.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Gloucestershire?
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 choose us in Gloucestershire?
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.
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.
Tidy, protected sites
Floors and finishes are protected, waste is removed and the area is cleaned before handover.
Covering all of Gloucestershire
Survey and installation teams cover Gloucester and the wider Gloucestershire area, including Gloucester and Cheltenham.
Office fit-outs often include walls that have a fire job to do: corridor walls on a protected escape route, enclosures around stairs, risers and plant, and walls that separate tenancies or compartments. A fire rated partition wall is built using the board manufacturer's tested system, specifying stud size, board type and number of layers, fixings, insulation and how the head and junctions are detailed. Follow that system and the wall carries its classified rating; deviate from it and the rating no longer applies.
Key specifications
| 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 |
| Boarding | One to three layers of 12.5mm or 15mm fire-resistant plasterboard each side |
| Insulation | Mineral wool to the system specification |
Surveys across Gloucestershire
We cover Gloucester along with nearby Gloucester, Cheltenham and Stroud. Surveys are free and usually take under an hour for a typical office floor.
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.
How does a project run?
Book a survey
A member of the team measures the Gloucester office, notes access and services, and discusses layout, privacy and acoustics with you.
Drawings and quote
We prepare drawings and an itemised fixed price, adjusting the design until it works for your team and budget.
Manufacture and planning
Glass and components are made to the surveyed sizes while we plan access, deliveries and any out-of-hours working.
Fit, check and hand over
Installation is completed, doors and seals are adjusted, the area is cleaned and the job is signed off with you.

Fire Rated Partition Walls in Gloucestershire: FAQs
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Gloucester?
Our guide price for fire rated partition walls is £75–£125 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Gloucester project depends on the measured size, doors, glass or board specification and access, and is fixed after the free survey.
Do you cover areas near Gloucester?
Yes. As well as Gloucester we regularly cover Gloucester, Cheltenham and Stroud, plus the rest of Gloucestershire and South West. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.
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.
