We are an experienced fire resistant partition company, based in Hereford in the West Midlands (primarily covering Herefordshire and Worcestershire and the surrounding areas).
Firewalls can be installed to achieve various fire ratings.
From creating partition walls with 30 minute or 60 minute fire resistance, or creating compartment walls offering 1 hour fire protection; we’ve covered most instances to help improve fire safety over the years.
We’re also 3rd Party Certified with BMTrada QMark for Fire Door Installation and Fire Stopping, we can carry out these works as single items, or alongside any ceiling or partition works that may be required offering you a single contractor for your passive fire protection requirements.
We work directly for end users, as well as a sub-contractor to other contractors. We’re a ConstructionLine Gold, CHAS, and SafeContractor health and safety accredited company, member of the Fire Protection Association, and have operatives with SMSTS, SSSTS, and EFAW qualifications.
We install systems that have proven fire tests, so that we can be sure of the fire resistance performance of the end product.
We work mainly through Hereford & Herefordshire and Worcester & Worcestershire, covering for example Ledbury, Ross on Wye, Monmouth Bromyard, Leominster, Malvern, and Ludlow and then into Gloucester & Gloucestershire, Evesham, Cheltenham and Pershore area. We do work further away that these areas though, so do please ask!
Fire Rated Partition Wall
Our fire rated partitioning systems are construction from lightweight steel track and stud systems, which are then clad with the required plasterboards for a performance to be achieved. They are typically non-loadbearing but can achieve high levels of fire rating to form fire compartmentation, and can include sound insulation to improve acoustic performance.
We can construct 30 minute fire rated partitions which are suitable for any situation; from dividing up an industrial unit, through to fitting in to a high-end office fit out aesthetic.
Into our partitions we are able to fit fire rated doors, and fire rated vision panels. Using our 3rd party certification for fire stopping we can also complete any required penetration seals.
Each partitioning system is constructed in a particular way, all according the manufacturers guidelines, in order to achieve its certified fire rating. When the correct products are combined, the end result is a fire-resistant stud partition which is capable of being suitable for either 30 or 60 minutes generally.
Fire Rated Glass
It is possible to incorporate fire rated glass into your fire wall partition, or have an entirely fire rated glass partition in certain circumstances by utilising fire resistant glass and ensuring it is used with the correct components / system to ensure it’s fire rating as tested is achieved.
Examples where you may need a fire rated wall
- Factory fire walls; helping to divide up and compartmentalise an industrial or factory space.
- In a commercial building or warehouse; either dividing up the space for different tenants, or where there is a need to fire separate offices from manufacturing for example.
- In office space, an internal wall can be constructed to achieve 30 minutes in order for it to form a protected corridor for example.
- To form protected corridors for escape routes, or around stairwells.
- Where building regulations create a requirement
