How do Horsham buildings affect the install?
Offices in Horsham range from first-floor suites above the high street to modern units on the edge of town, and the right partition system depends as much on the building as on the budget.
In Horsham, 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 Horsham
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 Horsham?
Acoustic bonus
Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.
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.
Landlord-ready paperwork
Drawings, method statements and risk assessments are supplied for your landlord or managing agent's approval.
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.
Typical fire rated partition walls projects we see in Horsham include stair and lift enclosures, riser enclosures and kitchens and storage rooms. Services crossing the wall are coordinated in advance and sealed with tested products, which is where most fire walls actually fail in inspections.

How do surveys work in Horsham?
If you are in Horsham or close by in Crawley or Burgess Hill, 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.

Questions about fire rated partition walls in Horsham
Do you install fire rated partition walls in Horsham?
Yes. We survey, supply and install fire rated partition walls throughout Horsham and the wider West Sussex area, including Crawley and Haywards Heath. The survey is free and you receive a fixed, written quote before any work is booked.
How soon can you start on a Horsham 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 Horsham office that stays open.
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.
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.
