What should West Glamorgan projects plan for?
City-centre floors in Swansea often come with raised access floors, high suspended ceilings and busy shared lobbies, so we plan deliveries, lift bookings and permits with the building manager before the team arrives.
For Swansea 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 West 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 West Glamorgan?
Tested systems, documented
We use manufacturers' tested partition systems and hand over the relevant performance and test evidence at completion.
Snagging and aftercare
We return to adjust doors and closers after the building settles, and repairs or alterations are only a call away.
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.
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.
The most common failures are not the boards but the gaps. Cables, pipes and ducts passing through the wall, sockets and back boxes, deflection heads and junctions with the façade all need fire stopping that is compatible with the wall's rating. We plan penetrations with your M&E contractor, use tested fire-stopping products and record what was installed, with photos taken before the second side is closed. At handover you receive the system classification and the fire-stopping record, which your fire risk assessor and Building Control will want to see.

Fire Rated Partition Walls in West Glamorgan: FAQs
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Swansea?
Our guide price for fire rated partition walls is £75–£125 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Swansea project depends on the measured size, doors, glass or board specification and access, and is fixed after the free survey.
Will our Swansea landlord need to approve the partitions?
If you lease your Swansea office, the lease will usually require landlord consent — often a licence for alterations — before partitions are installed. We supply drawings, specifications and method statements to support the application.
How much does a fire rated partition wall cost?
Fire rated partition walls typically cost £75–£125 per m² supplied and installed, excluding VAT. A 30-minute wall with one layer of fire board each side sits at the lower end; 60 or 90-minute walls with multiple layers and extensive fire stopping sit at the top. Fire doors are priced separately. We confirm a fixed price after a free survey.
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.
Whether your Swansea project is a single room or a whole floor, we will survey, design and install your fire rated partition walls with one team.
