Rules and safety
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.

Questions
Office partitions: common questions
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.
