What is different about partitioning in Taunton?
Smaller floorplates in Taunton make every metre count, so we often recommend glass that keeps daylight moving across the office while still giving managers a private room.
In Taunton, installations are often completed in a few days, and we can usually start on site soon after drawings are signed off because the survey answers the practical questions early.
Fire Rated Partition Walls prices in Taunton
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 Taunton businesses choose us?
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.
One point of contact
A single project contact handles survey, drawings, ordering and installation, so you are not chasing different trades.
Work around your hours
Evening and weekend installation can be arranged for occupied Taunton offices, keeping disruption to a minimum.
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.
Typical fire rated partition walls projects we see in Taunton include protected escape corridors, stair and lift enclosures and riser enclosures. Services crossing the wall are coordinated in advance and sealed with tested products, which is where most fire walls actually fail in inspections.

| Test standard | Non-loadbearing walls tested to BS EN 1364-1 (older data to BS 476-22) |

Covering Taunton and nearby
If you are in Taunton or close by in Bridgwater or Yeovil, book a free survey and we will come and measure. You will receive drawings and a fixed price before you commit to anything.
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.

Taunton fire rated partition walls FAQs
Can you work out of hours at our Taunton office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Taunton 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 Taunton?
Yes. As well as Taunton we regularly cover Bridgwater, Tiverton and Yeovil, plus the rest of Somerset and South West. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.
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.
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.
