Planning fire rated partition walls in Fareham: local points
In Fareham, 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.
For Fareham 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.
Fire Rated Partition Walls prices in Fareham
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 Fareham?
Landlord-ready paperwork
Drawings, method statements and risk assessments are supplied for your landlord or managing agent's approval.
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.
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 Fareham
We measure the space, check ceilings, floors and services, and talk through how you want the office to work before anything is priced.
Typical fire rated partition walls projects we see in Fareham include server, comms and plant rooms, riser enclosures and tenancy separation walls. We follow the manufacturer's tested details for studs, boards, fixings and head, so the wall achieves the classification it is meant to have.

How do surveys work in Fareham?
If you are in Fareham or close by in Portsmouth or Ryde, book a free survey and we will come and measure. You will receive drawings and a fixed price before you commit to anything.
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
Measure and assess
We take accurate measurements on site in Fareham, check the ceiling void and floor, and agree what the new layout must achieve.

You receive a layout, specification and a fixed, itemised quote. Nothing is ordered until you are happy with the drawings.

Materials are ordered to exact sizes and we agree installation dates, working hours and site rules with you.
Installation and handover
The team installs, snags and cleans, then hands over the site with any test evidence and care guidance.
Fareham fire rated partition walls FAQs
Do you install fire rated partition walls in Fareham?
Yes. We survey, supply and install fire rated partition walls throughout Fareham and the wider Hampshire area, including Portsmouth and Cowes. The survey is free and you receive a fixed, written quote before any work is booked.
Can you work out of hours at our Fareham office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Fareham so the office keeps running. Out-of-hours working usually adds a percentage to the labour cost, which is shown clearly on the quote.
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.
