What should Canary Wharf offices plan for?
Older stock across Canary Wharf — period buildings, converted warehouses and 1960s–80s blocks — tends to have uneven floors and varied ceiling heights, which is why every quote here follows a measured survey rather than a guess.
Parking and loading in central Canary Wharf can be restricted, so glass deliveries are booked into agreed slots and panels are sized to fit the lifts and stairwells we measured on survey.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Canary Wharf?
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 Canary Wharf?
Free survey in Canary Wharf
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.
Tidy, protected sites
Floors and finishes are protected, waste is removed and the area is cleaned before handover.
Acoustic bonus
Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.
Typical fire rated partition walls projects we see in Canary Wharf include stair and lift enclosures, server, comms and plant rooms and tenancy separation walls. Services crossing the wall are coordinated in advance and sealed with tested products, which is where most fire walls actually fail in inspections.
Key specifications
| Classification | EI 30, EI 60 or EI 90 integrity and insulation, to the tested system |
|---|---|
| Head detail | Tested fire-rated deflection head to accommodate slab movement |
| Fire stopping | Tested collars, wraps, sealants and batts for every penetration |
Covering Canary Wharf and nearby
We cover Canary Wharf along with nearby Stratford, Southwark and City of London. 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.

Questions about fire rated partition walls in Canary Wharf
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Canary Wharf?
Our guide price for fire rated partition walls is £75–£125 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Canary Wharf project depends on the measured size, doors, glass or board specification and access, and is fixed after the free survey.
Will our Canary Wharf landlord need to approve the partitions?
If you lease your Canary Wharf 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.
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.
How long does a fire rated stud wall last in a fire?
Office fire walls are commonly classified for 30, 60 or 90 minutes, such as EI 30 or EI 60. That figure is the time the tested wall maintained integrity and insulation in a standard furnace test. The duration you need is set by the building's fire strategy and Approved Document B.
