Fire Rated Partition Walls in Kent

What should Kent projects plan for?

Converted buildings in and around Maidstone often bring tricky ceiling lines and out-of-square walls; site-measured glass and adjustable head tracks take care of both.

Many Maidstone 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.

How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Kent?

£75–£125 per m² + VAT

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 Kent?

Tested systems, documented

We use manufacturers' tested partition systems and hand over the relevant performance and test evidence at completion.

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.

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.

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.

Key specifications

Classification	EI 30, EI 60 or EI 90 integrity and insulation, to the tested system
Framing	Steel studs 50–146mm at the system's specified centres
Insulation	Mineral wool to the system specification
Fire stopping	Tested collars, wraps, sealants and batts for every penetration

Surveys across Kent

Survey visits across Kent — including Maidstone, Maidstone and Canterbury — are free and carry no obligation. We measure, photograph and note services so the quote is accurate first time.

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.

Fire Rated Partition Walls in Kent: FAQs

How soon can you start on a Maidstone 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 Maidstone office that stays open.

Do you cover areas near Maidstone?

Yes. As well as Maidstone we regularly cover Maidstone, Canterbury and Ashford, plus the rest of Kent and South East. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.

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 Maidstone project is a single room or a whole floor, we will survey, design and install your fire rated partition walls with one team.
