What should Merseyside projects plan for?
City-centre floors in Liverpool often come with raised access floors, high suspended ceilings and busy shared lobbies, so we plan deliveries, lift bookings and permits with the building manager before the team arrives.
Across Liverpool 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.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Merseyside?
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 Merseyside?
Fixed price, in writing
Your quote lists the system, glass, doors, finishes and any extras, so the figure you approve is the figure you pay.
Penetrations planned
Services crossing the wall are coordinated in advance and sealed with tested products, which is where most fire walls actually fail in inspections.
Tidy, protected sites
Floors and finishes are protected, waste is removed and the area is cleaned before handover.
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.
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

Surveys across Merseyside
Survey visits across Merseyside — including Liverpool, Liverpool and Birkenhead — 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?
Book a survey
A member of the team measures the Liverpool office, notes access and services, and discusses layout, privacy and acoustics with you.
Design and fixed price
You receive a layout, specification and a fixed, itemised quote. Nothing is ordered until you are happy with the drawings.
Manufacture and planning
Glass and components are made to the surveyed sizes while we plan access, deliveries and any out-of-hours working.
Fit, check and hand over
Installation is completed, doors and seals are adjusted, the area is cleaned and the job is signed off with you.

Fire Rated Partition Walls in Merseyside: FAQs
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Liverpool?
Our guide price for fire rated partition walls is £75–£125 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Liverpool project depends on the measured size, doors, glass or board specification and access, and is fixed after the free survey.
Do you cover areas near Liverpool?
Yes. As well as Liverpool we regularly cover Liverpool, Birkenhead and St Helens, plus the rest of Merseyside and North West. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.
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.
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.
Whether your Liverpool project is a single room or a whole floor, we will survey, design and install your fire rated partition walls with one team.
