What should Dunstable offices plan for?
Offices in Dunstable range from first-floor suites above the high street to modern units on the edge of town, and the right partition system depends as much on the building as on the budget.
For Dunstable buildings with older timber floors or plastered ceilings, we check fixings and deflection on survey so the partitions stay true once the building moves with the seasons.
What do timber framed glass partitions cost in Dunstable?
Timber species and finish, frame profile, the proportion of glass to solid panel, and matching timber doors with ironmongery are the main factors in the price. Typical lead time: 4–6 weeks. Guide prices, supply and install — fixed after a free survey.
What do you get with us in Dunstable?
Free survey in Dunstable
We measure the space, check ceilings, floors and services, and talk through how you want the office to work before anything is priced.
One point of contact
A single project contact handles survey, drawings, ordering and installation, so you are not chasing different trades.
Warmth and natural material
Hardwood frames soften the look of glass and bring a natural texture into the office, supporting a calmer, more welcoming working environment.
Refinishable surface
Scuffs and marks on oiled or lacquered timber can be repaired and refinished in place, rather than replacing a damaged frame section entirely.
Typical timber framed glass partitions projects we see in Dunstable include period and listed offices, professional practices and wellbeing and quiet rooms. Timber sits naturally in listed and character buildings, where aluminium systems can look out of place and may not be acceptable to conservation officers.
What specification is typical?
| Frame profile | Typically 45–70mm sightlines, square or moulded edges |
|---|---|
| Doors | Matching timber framed glazed or solid doors with butt hinges and lever handles |
| Fire option | Tested timber fire-rated glazed screens and door sets available where required |
Do you survey in Dunstable?
We cover Dunstable along with nearby Luton, Leighton Buzzard and Hemel Hempstead. 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.
From survey to handover

We fit the partitions with minimal disruption, complete snagging and walk you through the finished space.
Dunstable timber framed glass partitions FAQs
How soon can you start on a Dunstable project?
Typical lead time for timber framed glass partitions is 4–6 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 Dunstable office that stays open.
Will our Dunstable landlord need to approve the partitions?
If you lease your Dunstable office, the lease will usually require landlord consent — often a licence for alterations — before partitions are installed. We supply drawings, specifications and method statements to support the application.
Are timber glass partitions suitable for listed buildings?
Often, yes. Timber framing can look more appropriate than aluminium in period interiors, and it can be fixed in ways that are reversible. Listed building consent is still normally needed, and the conservation officer may want to see drawings and fixing details. We provide these to support your application.
Is oak or ash better for office partitions?
Both are durable hardwoods. Oak has a pronounced grain and slightly warmer tone, and it is the more traditional choice. Ash is paler, with a straighter grain, and suits lighter Scandinavian-style interiors. Both take oil or lacquer finishes, and we can supply samples before you decide.
