What should South Glamorgan projects plan for?
Parking and loading in central Cardiff can be restricted, so glass deliveries are booked into agreed slots and panels are sized to fit the lifts and stairwells we measured on survey.
For Cardiff buildings with older timber floors or plastered ceilings, we check fixings and deflection on survey so the partitions stay true once the building moves with the seasons.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in South Glamorgan?
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 South Glamorgan?
Work around your hours
Evening and weekend installation can be arranged for occupied Cardiff offices, keeping disruption to a minimum.
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.
Acoustic bonus
Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.
Covering all of South Glamorgan
Survey and installation teams cover Cardiff and the wider South Glamorgan area, including Cardiff and Barry.
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
| 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 |
| Fire stopping | Tested collars, wraps, sealants and batts for every penetration |
| Acoustic performance | Approx. Rw 45–55 dB depending on build-up (lab) |
Surveys across South Glamorgan
We cover Cardiff along with nearby Cardiff, Barry and Penarth. Surveys are free and usually take under an hour for a typical office floor.
In Wales, the Building Regulations apply with Welsh-specific guidance, so we flag anything that may need Building Control — usually fire or escape-route changes — at survey stage.
How does a project run?
Measure and assess
We take accurate measurements on site in Cardiff, check the ceiling void and floor, and agree what the new layout must achieve.
Drawings and quote
We prepare drawings and an itemised fixed price, adjusting the design until it works for your team and budget.
Production and logistics
Made-to-measure panels are produced and we book deliveries, lifts and parking around your building.
Installation and handover
The team installs, snags and cleans, then hands over the site with any test evidence and care guidance.

Fire Rated Partition Walls in South Glamorgan: FAQs
Do you install fire rated partition walls in Cardiff?
Yes. We survey, supply and install fire rated partition walls throughout Cardiff and the wider South Glamorgan area, including Cardiff and Barry. The survey is free and you receive a fixed, written quote before any work is booked.
How soon can you start on a Cardiff 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 Cardiff office that stays open.
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.
