Planning fire rated partition walls in Bath: local points
Converted buildings in and around Bath often bring tricky ceiling lines and out-of-square walls; site-measured glass and adjustable head tracks take care of both.
Plenty of Bath businesses are growing into space they already lease, so we often reconfigure existing partitions and add new rooms in the same project.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Bath?
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.
What do you get with us in Bath?
Acoustic bonus
Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.
Clear guide prices online
Our fire rated partition walls prices are published as guide ranges, so you can budget before the survey.
Landlord-ready paperwork
Drawings, method statements and risk assessments are supplied for your landlord or managing agent's approval.
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 Bath include server, comms and plant rooms, riser enclosures and kitchens and storage rooms. We follow the manufacturer's tested details for studs, boards, fixings and head, so the wall achieves the classification it is meant to have.
What specification is typical?
| Test standard | Non-loadbearing walls tested to BS EN 1364-1 (older data to BS 476-22) |
|---|---|
| Boarding | One to three layers of 12.5mm or 15mm fire-resistant plasterboard each side |
| Head detail | Tested fire-rated deflection head to accommodate slab movement |

Bath sits about 84 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.

Bath fire rated partition walls FAQs
Do you install fire rated partition walls in Bath?
Yes. We survey, supply and install fire rated partition walls throughout Bath and the wider Somerset area, including Trowbridge and Melksham. The survey is free and you receive a fixed, written quote before any work is booked.
Can you work out of hours at our Bath office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Bath so the office keeps running. Out-of-hours working usually adds a percentage to the labour cost, which is shown clearly on the quote.
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.
