What should Chippenham offices plan for?
In and around Chippenham 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.
A small team in Chippenham usually wants the job done quickly and tidily; most compact installations are finished in one or two days once the glass or boards are ready.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Chippenham?
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 Chippenham 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.
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.
Acoustic bonus
Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.
Landlord-ready paperwork
Drawings, method statements and risk assessments are supplied for your landlord or managing agent's approval.
Typical fire rated partition walls projects we see in Chippenham include protected escape corridors, server, comms and plant rooms and tenancy separation walls. You receive the system classification, fire-stopping record and photographs, giving your fire risk assessor and Building Control clear evidence of what was built.

|---|---|

Covering Chippenham and nearby
Chippenham sits about 76 miles from our Birmingham base. Surveys are booked at a time that suits you, including early mornings, and the same project contact stays with you through to installation.
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 Chippenham
How soon can you start on a Chippenham 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 Chippenham office that stays open.
Do you cover areas near Chippenham?
Yes. As well as Chippenham we regularly cover Melksham, Devizes and Trowbridge, plus the rest of Wiltshire and South West. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.
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.
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.
