What should Shropshire projects plan for?
Offices in Shrewsbury 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.
For Shrewsbury 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.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Shropshire?
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 choose us in Shropshire?
Tidy, protected sites
Floors and finishes are protected, waste is removed and the area is cleaned before handover.
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.
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.
Office fit-outs often include walls that have a fire job to do: corridor walls on a protected escape route, enclosures around stairs, risers and plant, and walls that separate tenancies or compartments. A fire rated partition wall is built using the board manufacturer's tested system, specifying stud size, board type and number of layers, fixings, insulation and how the head and junctions are detailed. Follow that system and the wall carries its classified rating; deviate from it and the rating no longer applies.
Key specifications
| Framing | Steel studs 50–146mm at the system's specified centres |
|---|---|
| Boarding | One to three layers of 12.5mm or 15mm fire-resistant plasterboard each side |
| Insulation | Mineral wool to the system specification |
| Fire stopping | Tested collars, wraps, sealants and batts for every penetration |
Surveys across Shropshire
Survey visits across Shropshire — including Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury and Telford — are free and carry no obligation. We measure, photograph and note services so the quote is accurate first time.
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.

Fire Rated Partition Walls in Shropshire: FAQs
Can you work out of hours at our Shrewsbury office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Shrewsbury so the office keeps running. Out-of-hours working usually adds a percentage to the labour cost, which is shown clearly on the quote.
Do you cover areas near Shrewsbury?
Yes. As well as Shrewsbury we regularly cover Shrewsbury, Telford and Oswestry, plus the rest of Shropshire and West Midlands. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.
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.
