What should Oxford offices plan for?
Business parks around Oxford usually offer open floorplates with suspended ceilings, which suit glazed meeting rooms and full-height partitions once the ceiling void and services have been checked.
For Oxford offices that stay occupied during the works, we split the installation into zones so only a small part of the floor is affected at any one time.
Fire Rated Partition Walls prices in Oxford
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 Oxford?
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.
Clear guide prices online
Our fire rated partition walls prices are published as guide ranges, so you can budget before the survey.
Snagging and aftercare
We return to adjust doors and closers after the building settles, and repairs or alterations are only a call away.
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 Oxford include protected escape corridors, stair and lift enclosures and tenancy separation walls. You receive the system classification, fire-stopping record and photographs, giving your fire risk assessor and Building Control clear evidence of what was built.

Covering Oxford and nearby
We cover Oxford along with nearby Abingdon, Didcot and Witney. Surveys are free and usually take under an hour for a typical office floor.
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.

Questions about fire rated partition walls in Oxford
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Oxford?
Our guide price for fire rated partition walls is £75–£125 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Oxford project depends on the measured size, doors, glass or board specification and access, and is fixed after the free survey.
How soon can you start on a Oxford 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 Oxford office that stays open.
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.
Do fire rated walls need fire doors?
Yes. A door in a fire rated wall must be a fire door set tested to the same or appropriate rating, with compatible frame, hinges, closer, seals and signage. A standard door undermines the wall. We supply complete tested door sets and can check existing doors for suitability.
