Planning fire rated partition walls in Daventry: local points
In and around Daventry many offices are in converted buildings, rural business units or small suites, so we design partitions to suit the space rather than forcing a standard layout.
For Daventry businesses that share a building, we keep noise, dust and deliveries to agreed windows so neighbours are not disturbed.
What do fire rated partition walls cost in Daventry?
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 Daventry?
Acoustic bonus
Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.
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.
Free survey in Daventry
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.
Typical fire rated partition walls projects we see in Daventry include stair and lift enclosures, server, comms and plant rooms and tenancy separation walls. Services crossing the wall are coordinated in advance and sealed with tested products, which is where most fire walls actually fail in inspections.

Do you survey in Daventry?
Daventry sits about 38 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.

Daventry fire rated partition walls FAQs
How soon can you start on a Daventry 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 Daventry office that stays open.
Will our Daventry landlord need to approve the partitions?
If you lease your Daventry office, the lease will usually require landlord consent — often a licence for alterations — before partitions are installed. We supply drawings, specifications and method statements to support the application.
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.
