What is different about partitioning in Chorley?
Rural and edge-of-town premises near Chorley can have awkward access, so we plan panel sizes and delivery times on the survey to avoid surprises on the day.
A small team in Chorley usually wants the job done quickly and tidily; most compact installations are finished in one or two days once the glass or boards are ready.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Chorley?
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 Chorley?
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.
Snagging and aftercare
We return to adjust doors and closers after the building settles, and repairs or alterations are only a call away.
Acoustic bonus
Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.
Tidy, protected sites
Floors and finishes are protected, waste is removed and the area is cleaned before handover.
Typical fire rated partition walls projects we see in Chorley include protected escape corridors, riser enclosures and kitchens and storage rooms. You receive the system classification, fire-stopping record and photographs, giving your fire risk assessor and Building Control clear evidence of what was built.
What specification is typical?
| 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 |
| Boarding | One to three layers of 12.5mm or 15mm fire-resistant plasterboard each side |

Chorley fire rated partition walls FAQs
Do you install fire rated partition walls in Chorley?
Yes. We survey, supply and install fire rated partition walls throughout Chorley and the wider Lancashire area, including Leyland and Wigan. The survey is free and you receive a fixed, written quote before any work is booked.
Will our Chorley landlord need to approve the partitions?
If you lease your Chorley 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.
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.
