What should Gwent projects plan for?
Where a Newport building has a managing agent, we provide method statements, risk assessments and drawings in advance so the licence for alterations is not held up.
In Newport, installations are often completed in a few days, and we can usually start on site soon after drawings are signed off because the survey answers the practical questions early.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Gwent?
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 Gwent?
Penetrations planned
Services crossing the wall are coordinated in advance and sealed with tested products, which is where most fire walls actually fail in inspections.
Tidy, protected sites
Floors and finishes are protected, waste is removed and the area is cleaned before handover.
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.
Covering all of Gwent
Survey and installation teams cover Newport and the wider Gwent area, including Newport and Cwmbran.
The most common failures are not the boards but the gaps. Cables, pipes and ducts passing through the wall, sockets and back boxes, deflection heads and junctions with the façade all need fire stopping that is compatible with the wall's rating. We plan penetrations with your M&E contractor, use tested fire-stopping products and record what was installed, with photos taken before the second side is closed. At handover you receive the system classification and the fire-stopping record, which your fire risk assessor and Building Control will want to see.

In Wales, the Building Regulations apply with Welsh-specific guidance, so we flag anything that may need Building Control — usually fire or escape-route changes — at survey stage.

Fire Rated Partition Walls in Gwent: FAQs
Do you install fire rated partition walls in Newport?
Yes. We survey, supply and install fire rated partition walls throughout Newport and the wider Gwent area, including Newport and Cwmbran. The survey is free and you receive a fixed, written quote before any work is booked.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Newport?
Our guide price for fire rated partition walls is £75–£125 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Newport project depends on the measured size, doors, glass or board specification and access, and is fixed after the free survey.
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.
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.
Whether your Newport project is a single room or a whole floor, we will survey, design and install your fire rated partition walls with one team.
