Planning fire rated partition walls in Worthing: local points
Plenty of Worthing businesses are growing into space they already lease, so we often reconfigure existing partitions and add new rooms in the same project.
Where a Worthing building has a managing agent, we provide method statements, risk assessments and drawings in advance so the licence for alterations is not held up.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Worthing?
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 Worthing businesses choose us?
Clear guide prices online
Our fire rated partition walls prices are published as guide ranges, so you can budget before the survey.
Snagging and aftercare
We return to adjust doors and closers after the building settles, and repairs or alterations are only a call away.
Acoustic bonus
Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.
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 Worthing include stair and lift enclosures, server, comms and plant rooms 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.
What specification is typical?

Covering Worthing and nearby
Survey visits across West Sussex — including Worthing, Hove and Brighton — are free and carry no obligation. We measure, photograph and note services so the quote is accurate first time.
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.

Fire Rated Partition Walls in Worthing: FAQs
Can you work out of hours at our Worthing office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Worthing so the office keeps running. Out-of-hours working usually adds a percentage to the labour cost, which is shown clearly on the quote.
Will our Worthing landlord need to approve the partitions?
If you lease your Worthing 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.
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.
