What should Southwark offices plan for?
City-centre floors in Southwark often come with raised access floors, high suspended ceilings and busy shared lobbies, so we plan deliveries, lift bookings and permits with the building manager before the team arrives.
A lot of Southwark's office space sits in multi-let buildings where the landlord's fit-out rules set what can fix to ceilings and floors. We read those rules early so the design is approved first time.
What do fire rated partition walls cost in Southwark?
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 Southwark?
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.
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 Southwark include protected escape corridors, stair and lift enclosures and server, comms and plant rooms. You receive the system classification, fire-stopping record and photographs, giving your fire risk assessor and Building Control clear evidence of what was built.

How do surveys work in Southwark?
Survey visits across Greater London — including Southwark, City of London and Westminster — 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.
From survey to handover
Free survey
We visit your Southwark premises, measure up, check ceilings, floors and services and talk through how the space needs to work.
Specification sign-off
Drawings, system choice, glass and door details are confirmed in writing alongside a fixed quote.
Production and logistics
Made-to-measure panels are produced and we book deliveries, lifts and parking around your building.
Installation and handover
The team installs, snags and cleans, then hands over the site with any test evidence and care guidance.
Fire Rated Partition Walls in Southwark: FAQs
Do you install fire rated partition walls in Southwark?
Yes. We survey, supply and install fire rated partition walls throughout Southwark and the wider Greater London area, including City of London and Westminster. The survey is free and you receive a fixed, written quote before any work is booked.
How soon can you start on a Southwark 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 Southwark office that stays open.
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.
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.
