What should Mid Glamorgan projects plan for?
In Bridgend, installations are often completed in a few days, and we can usually start on site soon after drawings are signed off because the survey answers the practical questions early.
Bridgend has a broad mix of workplaces — town-centre offices, business parks, healthcare sites and light industrial units — and each needs a slightly different approach to fixing, acoustics and access.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Mid Glamorgan?
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 Mid Glamorgan?
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.
Free survey in Bridgend
We measure the space, check ceilings, floors and services, and talk through how you want the office to work before anything is priced.
Landlord-ready paperwork
Drawings, method statements and risk assessments are supplied for your landlord or managing agent's approval.
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.

Fire Rated Partition Walls in Mid Glamorgan: FAQs
How soon can you start on a Bridgend 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 Bridgend office that stays open.
Can you work out of hours at our Bridgend office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Bridgend 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.
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.
Whether your Bridgend project is a single room or a whole floor, we will survey, design and install your fire rated partition walls with one team.
