What should Trowbridge offices plan for?
Smaller floorplates in Trowbridge make every metre count, so we often recommend glass that keeps daylight moving across the office while still giving managers a private room.
In Trowbridge, 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.
What do fire rated partition walls cost in Trowbridge?
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 Trowbridge businesses choose us?
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.
Tested systems, documented
We use manufacturers' tested partition systems and hand over the relevant performance and test evidence at completion.
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.
Free survey in Trowbridge
We measure the space, check ceilings, floors and services, and talk through how you want the office to work before anything is priced.
Typical fire rated partition walls projects we see in Trowbridge include protected escape corridors, stair and lift enclosures and riser enclosures. Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.
Specification highlights

Covering Trowbridge and nearby
We cover Trowbridge along with nearby Melksham, Bath and Frome. Surveys are free and usually take under an hour for a typical office floor.
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.
How does a Trowbridge project run?
Book a survey

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.
Fire Rated Partition Walls in Trowbridge: FAQs
How soon can you start on a Trowbridge 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 Trowbridge office that stays open.
Do you cover areas near Trowbridge?
Yes. As well as Trowbridge we regularly cover Melksham, Bath and Frome, plus the rest of Wiltshire and South West. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.
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.
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.
