Planning fire rated partition walls in Merthyr Tydfil: local points
Across Merthyr Tydfil 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.
For Merthyr Tydfil buildings with older timber floors or plastered ceilings, we check fixings and deflection on survey so the partitions stay true once the building moves with the seasons.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Merthyr Tydfil?
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.

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 Merthyr Tydfil project is a single room or a whole floor, we will survey, design and install your fire rated partition walls with one team.
