What should Farnham offices plan for?
In and around Farnham many offices are in converted buildings, rural business units or small suites, so we design partitions to suit the space rather than forcing a standard layout.
Rural and edge-of-town premises near Farnham can have awkward access, so we plan panel sizes and delivery times on the survey to avoid surprises on the day.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Farnham?
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 Farnham businesses choose us?
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.
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.
Tested systems, documented
We use manufacturers' tested partition systems and hand over the relevant performance and test evidence at completion.
Fixed price, in writing
Your quote lists the system, glass, doors, finishes and any extras, so the figure you approve is the figure you pay.
Typical fire rated partition walls projects we see in Farnham include stair and lift enclosures, tenancy separation walls and kitchens and storage rooms. You receive the system classification, fire-stopping record and photographs, giving your fire risk assessor and Building Control clear evidence of what was built.
What specification is typical?
| 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 |
| Acoustic performance | Approx. Rw 45–55 dB depending on build-up (lab) |
Do you survey in Farnham?
From our Birmingham office (around 104 miles away) we coordinate surveys and installations throughout South East. In Farnham, that means a free measured survey and a written, fixed quote.
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.

Farnham fire rated partition walls FAQs
How soon can you start on a Farnham 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 Farnham office that stays open.
Do you cover areas near Farnham?
Yes. As well as Farnham we regularly cover Aldershot, Farnborough and Camberley, plus the rest of Surrey and South East. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.
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.
