Planning fire rated partition walls in Stevenage: local points
Across Stevenage we see a lot of mixed-use space — offices next to workshops, clinics or showrooms — where partitions have to deal with noise, dust or fire separation as well as privacy.
For Stevenage 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.
What do fire rated partition walls cost in Stevenage?
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 use us for fire rated partition walls in Stevenage?
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.
Free survey in Stevenage
We measure the space, check ceilings, floors and services, and talk through how you want the office to work before anything is priced.
Tested systems, documented
We use manufacturers' tested partition systems and hand over the relevant performance and test evidence at completion.
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 Stevenage include protected escape corridors, server, comms and plant rooms 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.

Do you survey in Stevenage?
Stevenage sits about 86 miles from our Birmingham base. Surveys are booked at a time that suits you, including early mornings, and the same project contact stays with you through to installation.
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.

Stevenage fire rated partition walls FAQs
Will our Stevenage landlord need to approve the partitions?
If you lease your Stevenage office, the lease will usually require landlord consent — often a licence for alterations — before partitions are installed. We supply drawings, specifications and method statements to support the application.
Do you cover areas near Stevenage?
Yes. As well as Stevenage we regularly cover Hitchin, Welwyn Garden City and Hertford, plus the rest of Hertfordshire and East of England. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.
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.
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.
