Planning fire rated partition walls in York: local points
Converted buildings in and around York often bring tricky ceiling lines and out-of-square walls; site-measured glass and adjustable head tracks take care of both.
Where a York building has a managing agent, we provide method statements, risk assessments and drawings in advance so the licence for alterations is not held up.
Fire Rated Partition Walls prices in York
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 York?
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.
Snagging and aftercare
We return to adjust doors and closers after the building settles, and repairs or alterations are only a call away.
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.

Questions about fire rated partition walls in York
Do you install fire rated partition walls in York?
Yes. We survey, supply and install fire rated partition walls throughout York and the wider North Yorkshire area, including Selby and Harrogate. The survey is free and you receive a fixed, written quote before any work is booked.
Can you work out of hours at our York office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in York 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.
