What should Canary Wharf offices plan for?
A lot of Canary Wharf's office space sits in multi-let buildings where the landlord's fit-out rules set what can fix to ceilings and floors. We read those rules early so the design is approved first time.
In a city like Canary Wharf, out-of-hours working is often the difference between a smooth install and a lost week. We regularly phase work over evenings and weekends to keep occupied floors running.
How much do timber framed glass partitions cost in Canary Wharf?
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.
Why use us for timber framed glass partitions in Canary Wharf?
Fixed price, in writing
Your quote lists the system, glass, doors, finishes and any extras, so the figure you approve is the figure you pay.
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.
Tidy, protected sites
Floors and finishes are protected, waste is removed and the area is cleaned before handover.
Fits period buildings
Timber sits naturally in listed and character buildings, where aluminium systems can look out of place and may not be acceptable to conservation officers.
Typical timber framed glass partitions projects we see in Canary Wharf include period and listed offices, wellbeing and quiet rooms and boutique head offices. Scuffs and marks on oiled or lacquered timber can be repaired and refinished in place, rather than replacing a damaged frame section entirely.

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.

Canary Wharf timber framed glass partitions FAQs
How soon can you start on a Canary Wharf 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 Canary Wharf office that stays open.
Will our Canary Wharf landlord need to approve the partitions?
If you lease your Canary Wharf 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.
How much do timber framed glass partitions cost?
Timber framed glass partitions typically cost £450–£750 per m² supplied and installed, excluding VAT. Painted hardwood and simple profiles sit at the lower end, while solid oak, moulded profiles, double glazing and matching timber doors sit at the top. We confirm a fixed price after a free site survey.
Do timber framed partitions need maintenance?
Very little in normal office use. Wipe with a damp cloth, and expect to refresh oiled finishes occasionally on busy door frames. Lacquered and painted finishes need even less attention. Scratches can be repaired in place, which is an advantage over powder-coated aluminium.
Whether your Canary Wharf project is a single room or a whole floor, we will survey, design and install your timber framed glass partitions with one team.
