What is different about partitioning in Andover?
Many Andover workplaces are owner-occupied, which makes it easier to choose systems for the long term — acoustic glass for meeting rooms, for example, rather than the cheapest option.
For Andover buildings with older timber floors or plastered ceilings, we check fixings and deflection on survey so the partitions stay true once the building moves with the seasons.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Andover?
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 Andover businesses choose us?
Covering all of Hampshire
Survey and installation teams cover Andover and the wider Hampshire area, including Winchester and Newbury.
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.
Landlord-ready paperwork
Drawings, method statements and risk assessments are supplied for your landlord or managing agent's approval.
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.
Typical fire rated partition walls projects we see in Andover include stair and lift enclosures, server, comms and plant rooms and tenancy separation walls. You receive the system classification, fire-stopping record and photographs, giving your fire risk assessor and Building Control clear evidence of what was built.
Key specifications
| 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 |
How do surveys work in Andover?
From our Birmingham office (around 95 miles away) we coordinate surveys and installations throughout South East. In Andover, that means a free measured survey and a written, fixed quote.
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 Andover project run?

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.
Andover fire rated partition walls FAQs
Do you install fire rated partition walls in Andover?
Yes. We survey, supply and install fire rated partition walls throughout Andover and the wider Hampshire area, including Winchester and Newbury. The survey is free and you receive a fixed, written quote before any work is booked.
Do you cover areas near Andover?
Yes. As well as Andover we regularly cover Winchester, Newbury and Salisbury, plus the rest of Hampshire and South East. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.
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.
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.
