What should Wiltshire projects plan for?
Swindon has a broad mix of workplaces — town-centre offices, business parks, healthcare sites and light industrial units — and each needs a slightly different approach to fixing, acoustics and access.
In Swindon, 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.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Wiltshire?
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 Wiltshire?
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.
Landlord-ready paperwork
Drawings, method statements and risk assessments are supplied for your landlord or managing agent's approval.
Covering all of Wiltshire
Survey and installation teams cover Swindon and the wider Wiltshire area, including Swindon and Salisbury.
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.
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.
Key specifications
| Classification | EI 30, EI 60 or EI 90 integrity and insulation, to the tested system |
|---|---|
| Test standard | Non-loadbearing walls tested to BS EN 1364-1 (older data to BS 476-22) |
| Boarding | One to three layers of 12.5mm or 15mm fire-resistant plasterboard each side |
| Fire stopping | Tested collars, wraps, sealants and batts for every penetration |
Surveys across Wiltshire
Survey visits across Wiltshire — including Swindon, Swindon and Salisbury — 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 Wiltshire: FAQs
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Swindon?
Our guide price for fire rated partition walls is £75–£125 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Swindon project depends on the measured size, doors, glass or board specification and access, and is fixed after the free survey.
Will our Swindon landlord need to approve the partitions?
If you lease your Swindon 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.
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.
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.
