How do Corby buildings affect the install?
Smaller floorplates in Corby make every metre count, so we often recommend glass that keeps daylight moving across the office while still giving managers a private room.
For Corby 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.
What do fire rated partition walls cost in Corby?
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.
What do you get with us in Corby?
Tested systems, documented
We use manufacturers' tested partition systems and hand over the relevant performance and test evidence at completion.
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.
Acoustic bonus
Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.
Free survey in Corby
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 Corby include stair and lift enclosures, server, comms and plant rooms and kitchens and storage rooms. Services crossing the wall are coordinated in advance and sealed with tested products, which is where most fire walls actually fail in inspections.

How do surveys work in Corby?
Corby sits about 52 miles from our Birmingham base. Surveys are booked at a time that suits you, including early mornings, and the same project contact stays with you through to installation.
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.
From survey to handover
Measure and assess
We take accurate measurements on site in Corby, check the ceiling void and floor, and agree what the new layout must achieve.
Drawings and quote
We prepare drawings and an itemised fixed price, adjusting the design until it works for your team and budget.
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.
Corby fire rated partition walls FAQs
How soon can you start on a Corby 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 Corby office that stays open.
Do you cover areas near Corby?
Yes. As well as Corby we regularly cover Uppingham, Kettering and Market Harborough, plus the rest of Northamptonshire and East Midlands. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.
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.
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.
