Planning fire rated partition walls in Hexham: local points
In and around Hexham 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.
Workplaces near Hexham often combine office space with storage or production, which is where solid stud walls, in-plant offices and glazed screens work well together.
Fire Rated Partition Walls prices in Hexham
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 do Hexham businesses choose us?
Clear guide prices online
Our fire rated partition walls prices are published as guide ranges, so you can budget before the survey.
Free survey in Hexham
We measure the space, check ceilings, floors and services, and talk through how you want the office to work before anything is priced.
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.
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.
Typical fire rated partition walls projects we see in Hexham include protected escape corridors, stair and lift enclosures and tenancy separation walls. Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.

Questions about fire rated partition walls in Hexham
Do you install fire rated partition walls in Hexham?
Yes. We survey, supply and install fire rated partition walls throughout Hexham and the wider Northumberland area, including Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead. The survey is free and you receive a fixed, written quote before any work is booked.
Will our Hexham landlord need to approve the partitions?
If you lease your Hexham 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.
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.
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.
