How do Melksham buildings affect the install?
Smaller Melksham offices often need just a few metres of partitioning — a manager's room, a meeting space or a quiet booth — and we are happy to take on compact jobs as well as larger ones.
Workplaces near Melksham often combine office space with storage or production, which is where solid stud walls, in-plant offices and glazed screens work well together.
What do fire rated partition walls cost in Melksham?
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 Melksham businesses choose us?
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.
Tidy, protected sites
Floors and finishes are protected, waste is removed and the area is cleaned before handover.
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 Melksham include protected escape corridors, stair and lift enclosures and tenancy separation walls. Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.

Do you survey in Melksham?
Survey visits across Wiltshire — including Melksham, Trowbridge and Chippenham — 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 Melksham: FAQs
Can you work out of hours at our Melksham office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Melksham so the office keeps running. Out-of-hours working usually adds a percentage to the labour cost, which is shown clearly on the quote.
Do you cover areas near Melksham?
Yes. As well as Melksham we regularly cover Trowbridge, Chippenham and Devizes, 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.
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.
