What should Kettering offices plan for?
Offices in Kettering range from first-floor suites above the high street to modern units on the edge of town, and the right partition system depends as much on the building as on the budget.
Many Kettering workplaces are owner-occupied, which makes it easier to choose systems for the long term — acoustic glass for meeting rooms, for example, rather than the cheapest option.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Kettering?
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.

Typical fire rated partition walls projects we see in Kettering include protected escape corridors, riser enclosures 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.

Fire Rated Partition Walls in Kettering: FAQs
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Kettering?
Our guide price for fire rated partition walls is £75–£125 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Kettering project depends on the measured size, doors, glass or board specification and access, and is fixed after the free survey.
Can you work out of hours at our Kettering office?

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.
