What should Leicestershire projects plan for?
Parking and loading in central Leicester can be restricted, so glass deliveries are booked into agreed slots and panels are sized to fit the lifts and stairwells we measured on survey.
Smaller floorplates in Leicester make every metre count, so we often recommend glass that keeps daylight moving across the office while still giving managers a private room.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Leicestershire?
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 Leicestershire?
Acoustic bonus
Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.
Tested systems, documented
We use manufacturers' tested partition systems and hand over the relevant performance and test evidence at completion.
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.
Tidy, protected sites
Floors and finishes are protected, waste is removed and the area is cleaned before handover.
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 |
|---|---|
| Boarding | One to three layers of 12.5mm or 15mm fire-resistant plasterboard each side |
| Insulation | Mineral wool to the system specification |
| Head detail | Tested fire-rated deflection head to accommodate slab movement |
Surveys across Leicestershire
Survey visits across Leicestershire — including Leicester, Leicester and Loughborough — 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.
How does a project run?
Measure and assess
We take accurate measurements on site in Leicester, check the ceiling void and floor, and agree what the new layout must achieve.
Drawings and quote
We prepare drawings and an itemised fixed price, adjusting the design until it works for your team and budget.
Manufacture and planning
Glass and components are made to the surveyed sizes while we plan access, deliveries and any out-of-hours working.
Installation and handover
The team installs, snags and cleans, then hands over the site with any test evidence and care guidance.

Fire Rated Partition Walls in Leicestershire: FAQs
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Leicester?
Our guide price for fire rated partition walls is £75–£125 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Leicester project depends on the measured size, doors, glass or board specification and access, and is fixed after the free survey.
Can you work out of hours at our Leicester office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Leicester 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.
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.
