Partition Walls
Partition walls are a practical way to reshape a space without the cost and disruption of major structural work. Whether you are dividing an open plan room, creating private offices, adding storage areas, or improving acoustics between rooms, a well built partition makes the space feel finished and purposeful.
We design and install partition walls for homes, apartments, retail units, and commercial interiors. Our team helps you choose the right system for your goals, from lightweight stud and board walls to higher performance options for sound control and fire safety. Every installation is planned to suit your layout, building requirements, and timeline.
Types of Partition Walls We Install
Drywall and plasterboard partitions
Drywall partitions are the most common option for fast, clean interior changes. They are built with metal or timber studs, insulation when needed, and plasterboard sheets that are taped and finished ready for paint. If you need a dependable solution for partition wall construction, this approach offers excellent flexibility for doors, niches, and services.
Acoustic partitions for quieter rooms
For bedrooms, meeting rooms, or shared living spaces, we can add acoustic insulation, resilient bars, and double layer boards to reduce noise transfer. We also seal junctions and penetrations correctly, since small gaps can undermine sound performance. The result is a calmer, more private environment.
Fire rated and compliant partitions
Some buildings require partitions with specific fire resistance ratings. We install certified board systems and specify the correct stud spacing, fixings, and joint treatments. Where required, we coordinate with building control documentation and ensure openings, such as doors, match the rating of the wall.
Our Process From First Visit to Final Finish
Successful partition work starts with good planning. We begin with an on site assessment to confirm dimensions, ceiling heights, existing surfaces, and the location of electrical and plumbing runs. You receive clear guidance on layout options, door positioning, and how the new wall will affect light and circulation.
Next, we set out the wall line and install the frame with careful attention to plumb, rigidity, and fixing points. We then add insulation if specified, install boards, and complete jointing and finishing. If you need a full package that includes painting and trim, we can provide wall and ceiling finishing alongside your partition installation.
Throughout the project we aim to keep disruption low. We protect floors, manage dust, and maintain tidy work areas, especially important in occupied homes and active workplaces. Before handover, we review the finish with you and address any details like corner protection, caulking, or minor touch ups.
What We Can Build Into Your Partition Wall
Modern partitions are more than just a divider. We can integrate functional details that make the new space work better from day one.
- Door openings and frames including standard internal doors and wider access where needed
- Electrical points such as sockets, switches, and data points with safe cable routes
- Sound and thermal insulation to improve comfort and privacy
- Reinforcement for wall mounted items like TVs, shelving, radiators, and cabinets
- Clean junctions at ceilings, skirting, and existing walls for a seamless look
If your project also involves changes above the new rooms, we can coordinate with related wall and ceiling construction tasks so lines, levels, and finishes match throughout the interior.
Where Partition Walls Make the Biggest Difference
- Homes adding a nursery, home office, walk in wardrobe, or separating kitchen and living zones
- Apartments improving privacy, creating storage areas, or refining open plan layouts
- Offices creating meeting rooms, quiet work areas, reception zones, and break rooms
- Retail and hospitality back of house partitions, changing rooms, and staff spaces
Whatever the setting, we focus on straight lines, solid framing, and a finish that blends into the rest of the property. You get a partition wall that looks intentional, performs well, and supports the way you use the space.

To price your partition wall, we typically need the approximate length and height, any door openings, and your preferred finish level. If you are unsure, we can measure on site and recommend the most suitable build up based on budget, sound control, and compliance needs.

FAQ
How long does it take to build a partition wall?
Most standard stud and drywall partitions can be framed and boarded within one to two days, depending on size and access. Taping, jointing, and drying time for finishing usually adds another one to three days.
Can you add soundproofing to a new partition wall?
Yes, we can improve sound control using acoustic insulation, double board layers, and proper perimeter sealing. We will recommend the right system based on the rooms on each side and the level of privacy you need.
Will a partition wall affect electrics or plumbing in the room?
It can, especially if the new wall crosses existing cable routes or pipe runs. We assess this during the site visit and can coordinate safe rerouting or add new sockets and switches within the partition where required.
