Rules and approvals in Cardiff
Partitions on escape routes or between fire compartments must meet Building Regulations fire requirements, and the board, studs and seals must match a tested system. Service penetrations through fire-rated walls need proper fire stopping.
Work that needs Building Regulations approval can go through Cardiff Council building control or a registered building control approver. Building Regulations are devolved in Wales, so the Welsh Approved Documents apply.
Questions to ask an installer
- Does the wall run to the soffit or stop at the ceiling?
- Which tested system is it, and what rating does it achieve?
- Who seals service holes through fire-rated walls?
- Are doors, frames and decoration included?

Questions
Office partitions in Cardiff: common questions
Do you have office partitions installers in Cardiff?
We are a new network and are still signing installers up. If we cannot match your job in Cardiff, we tell you. We do not pass it to someone unsuitable.
Do new partitions need Building Regulations approval?
Often, yes, especially where they affect fire escape routes or fire compartments. Your installer or a building control body can confirm for your layout.
How soundproof is a partition?
It depends on the build-up. More board layers, insulation and running the wall to the soffit all improve sound reduction. Ask for the tested rating.
Can partitions be moved later?
Demountable systems can be taken down and rebuilt. Plasterboard partitions are cheaper but are removed rather than reused.
