How do Winchester buildings affect the install?
In Winchester, 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 Winchester 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 Winchester?
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 Winchester?
Covering all of Hampshire
Survey and installation teams cover Winchester and the wider Hampshire area, including Eastleigh and Southampton.
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.
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.
Typical fire rated partition walls projects we see in Winchester include server, comms and plant rooms, riser enclosures and kitchens and storage rooms. Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.
Specification highlights
| Boarding | One to three layers of 12.5mm or 15mm fire-resistant plasterboard each side |
|---|---|
| Insulation | Mineral wool to the system specification |
| Fire stopping | Tested collars, wraps, sealants and batts for every penetration |
How do surveys work in Winchester?
If you are in Winchester or close by in Eastleigh or Andover, 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.

Questions about fire rated partition walls in Winchester
How soon can you start on a Winchester 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 Winchester office that stays open.
Can you work out of hours at our Winchester office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Winchester so the office keeps running. Out-of-hours working usually adds a percentage to the labour cost, which is shown clearly on the quote.
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.
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.
