What should West Sussex projects plan for?
Rural and edge-of-town premises near Chichester can have awkward access, so we plan panel sizes and delivery times on the survey to avoid surprises on the day.
In Chichester, 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 frameless glass partitions cost in West Sussex?
Glass thickness, panel height, the number and type of doors, and whether the head fixes to a soffit or needs bracing above a suspended ceiling drive most of the cost. Typical lead time: 2–4 weeks. Guide prices, supply and install — fixed after a free survey.
Why choose us in West Sussex?
Tested systems, documented
We use manufacturers' tested partition systems and hand over the relevant performance and test evidence at completion.
Landlord-ready paperwork
Drawings, method statements and risk assessments are supplied for your landlord or managing agent's approval.
Lower cost per m²
Fewer extrusions and simpler fixing make frameless the most economical glazed system, leaving more of the fit-out budget for furniture, acoustics or an extra meeting room.
Simple to maintain
Flat glass faces and minimal hardware leave few dust traps, and a damaged panel can be replaced on its own without disturbing the sections either side.
Frameless glazing is the system most people picture when they think of a modern glass office. Panels sit in a slim aluminium channel at ceiling and floor, and the vertical joints between them are clear, so the eye reads one continuous sheet of glass. With no posts every metre, rooms feel larger and the partition almost disappears when viewed at an angle. It is also the most economical glazed system per square metre, which is why it appears on so many Category B fit-outs where the budget has to stretch across a whole floor.

Surveys across West Sussex
We cover Chichester along with nearby Chichester, Crawley and Worthing. 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.

We visit your Chichester premises, measure up, check ceilings, floors and services and talk through how the space needs to work.
Specification sign-off
Drawings, system choice, glass and door details are confirmed in writing alongside a fixed quote.
Manufacture and planning
Glass and components are made to the surveyed sizes while we plan access, deliveries and any out-of-hours working.

Frameless Glass Partitions in West Sussex: FAQs
How much do frameless glass partitions cost in Chichester?
Our guide price for frameless glass partitions is £280–£420 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Chichester 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 Chichester?
Yes. As well as Chichester we regularly cover Chichester, Crawley and Worthing, plus the rest of West Sussex and South East. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.
What thickness of glass is used for frameless partitions?
Most frameless office partitions use 10mm or 12mm toughened glass, or 10.8mm to 12.8mm laminated glass where acoustic performance or post-breakage containment matters. Panels taller than about 3m generally need thicker or laminated glass. We confirm the specification after survey based on height, room use and the impact classification the location needs.
Do frameless glass partitions need manifestation?
Yes. Approved Document K and the Workplace Regulations 1992 require clear glass in office partitions to be marked so people can see it. Manifestation sits in two zones, 850–1000mm and 1400–1600mm above floor level. It can be simple dots or bands, frosted film or a branded design, and it is included in every installation we carry out.
Whether your Chichester project is a single room or a whole floor, we will survey, design and install your frameless glass partitions with one team.
