How do Leicester buildings affect the install?
Older stock across Leicester — period buildings, converted warehouses and 1960s–80s blocks — tends to have uneven floors and varied ceiling heights, which is why every quote here follows a measured survey rather than a guess.
In a city like Leicester, out-of-hours working is often the difference between a smooth install and a lost week. We regularly phase work over evenings and weekends to keep occupied floors running.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Leicester?
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 Leicester?
Acoustic bonus
Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.
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.
Work around your hours
Evening and weekend installation can be arranged for occupied Leicester offices, keeping disruption to a minimum.
Free survey in Leicester
We measure the space, check ceilings, floors and services, and talk through how you want the office to work before anything is priced.
Typical fire rated partition walls projects we see in Leicester include protected escape corridors, server, comms and plant rooms and tenancy separation walls. Services crossing the wall are coordinated in advance and sealed with tested products, which is where most fire walls actually fail in inspections.
What specification is typical?
| Classification | EI 30, EI 60 or EI 90 integrity and insulation, to the tested system |
|---|---|
| Test standard | Non-loadbearing walls tested to BS EN 1364-1 (older data to BS 476-22) |
| Head detail | Tested fire-rated deflection head to accommodate slab movement |
How do surveys work in Leicester?
Our office is in Great Barr, Birmingham — roughly 34 miles from Leicester as the crow flies — and survey and installation teams are arranged regionally, so distance does not change the price structure.
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 Leicester: FAQs
Do you install fire rated partition walls in Leicester?
Yes. We survey, supply and install fire rated partition walls throughout Leicester and the wider Leicestershire area, including Loughborough and Coalville. The survey is free and you receive a fixed, written quote before any work is booked.
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.
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.
