Planning fire rated partition walls in Cirencester: local points
In and around Cirencester many offices are in converted buildings, rural business units or small suites, so we design partitions to suit the space rather than forcing a standard layout.
A small team in Cirencester 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.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Cirencester?
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 Cirencester businesses choose us?
Acoustic bonus
Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.
Free survey in Cirencester
We measure the space, check ceilings, floors and services, and talk through how you want the office to work before anything is priced.
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.
Snagging and aftercare
We return to adjust doors and closers after the building settles, and repairs or alterations are only a call away.
Typical fire rated partition walls projects we see in Cirencester include stair and lift enclosures, server, comms and plant rooms and riser enclosures. Services crossing the wall are coordinated in advance and sealed with tested products, which is where most fire walls actually fail in inspections.
What specification is typical?
| 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 |
| Head detail | Tested fire-rated deflection head to accommodate slab movement |
Covering Cirencester and nearby
Survey visits across Gloucestershire — including Cirencester, Stroud and Cheltenham — 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.

Fire Rated Partition Walls in Cirencester: FAQs
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Cirencester?
Our guide price for fire rated partition walls is £75–£125 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Cirencester project depends on the measured size, doors, glass or board specification and access, and is fixed after the free survey.
Can you work out of hours at our Cirencester office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Cirencester so the office keeps running. Out-of-hours working usually adds a percentage to the labour cost, which is shown clearly on the quote.
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.
