Planning fire rated partition walls in Swindon: local points
Business parks around Swindon usually offer open floorplates with suspended ceilings, which suit glazed meeting rooms and full-height partitions once the ceiling void and services have been checked.
Plenty of Swindon businesses are growing into space they already lease, so we often reconfigure existing partitions and add new rooms in the same project.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Swindon?
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 Swindon?
Snagging and aftercare
We return to adjust doors and closers after the building settles, and repairs or alterations are only a call away.
Tested systems, documented
We use manufacturers' tested partition systems and hand over the relevant performance and test evidence at completion.
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.
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.
Typical fire rated partition walls projects we see in Swindon include server, comms and plant rooms, riser 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 Swindon?
Swindon sits about 69 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.
What happens next?
Free survey
We visit your Swindon premises, measure up, check ceilings, floors and services and talk through how the space needs to work.
Design and fixed price
You receive a layout, specification and a fixed, itemised quote. Nothing is ordered until you are happy with the drawings.
Production and logistics
Made-to-measure panels are produced and we book deliveries, lifts and parking around your building.
Installation and handover
The team installs, snags and cleans, then hands over the site with any test evidence and care guidance.
Questions about fire rated partition walls in Swindon
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.
Do you cover areas near Swindon?
Yes. As well as Swindon we regularly cover Cirencester, Chippenham and Devizes, plus the rest of Wiltshire and South West. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.
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.
Who signs off a fire rated partition wall?
Where walls affect escape routes or compartmentation, Building Control normally reviews and inspects the work. Your fire risk assessor will also want evidence for the fire risk assessment. We hand over the system classification, fire-stopping records and photographs so both can verify what was built.
