Office Partitioning
The way you divide your space has a direct impact on how your business operates. Whether you need to create private offices, meeting rooms, breakout areas or simply separate one part of your floor plate from another, the right office partitioning system makes the difference between a space that works and one that doesn’t. At Commercial Building Solutions, we supply and install commercial office partitions across Portsmouth, Hampshire and the South Coast, so you get a finished result that suits how your business actually functions.
Why Choose Commercial Building Solutions for Your Office Partitioning?
We’ve been installing office partitions in commercial buildings across Portsmouth and Hampshire for over twenty years, so we understand the practical and aesthetic considerations that go into every project. Because we work across the full range of partition systems, we can advise you on the right solution for your space rather than pushing you towards whatever we happen to stock.
From single partitions through to full floor refurbishments, we manage the entire installation. That means one contractor, one point of contact and a consistent standard of workmanship throughout. Since we also deliver ceilings, flooring and electrical works, we can coordinate all related trades under one contract if the project requires it.

Every partitioning project starts with understanding how you need your space to work. Because partition systems vary significantly in terms of acoustic performance, flexibility and finish, we take the time to understand your requirements before we recommend anything. That way, the system we install is the right one for your building and your business.
You get practical solutions, transparent pricing and a high standard finish that lifts your entire workspace.
What's Included in Partitioning?
We work with a range of commercial partition systems to suit different budgets, performance requirements and design briefs. Whether you need a straightforward drylining solution or a full height glazed system, we tailor the specification to your project. Here’s what we typically cover:
Stud and Drylining Partitions
Cost effective and versatile, stud partitions suit a wide range of commercial applications where a solid, plastered finish is required. We design and install them to the specification your project needs.
Glazed Partitions
Full height glazed partition systems that bring natural light into your space while maintaining acoustic separation between rooms. Available in framed and frameless options to suit your design brief.
Demountable Partitions
Flexible partition systems that you can reconfigure as your business grows or your space requirements change, without the disruption and cost of a full refit.
Integration With Existing Building Fabric
We integrate all partition works with the existing ceiling, floor and services so everything connects properly and the finished result looks considered rather than added on.
Acoustic Partitions
Where noise control matters, we specify and install partition systems with the acoustic performance your environment requires, whether that’s a boardroom, private office or confidential meeting space.
Doorsets and Glazed Screens
We supply and fit a full range of commercial doorsets, frames and glazed screens to complement your partition system and complete the finished look of each space.
Fire Rated Partitions
Where fire compartmentation is required, we install partition systems that meet the necessary fire rating, so your building stays compliant with current regulations.
Making Good and Decoration
Once partitions are in place, we make good all surfaces and carry out any decoration required so the finished result is ready to use without additional trades being needed.
How We Deliver Your Office Partitions in Portsmouth
Every partitioning project starts with a site visit. We look at the space, discuss how you need it to work and advise on the partition systems that best suit your requirements and budget. Once you’re happy with the approach, we produce a clear, itemised quotation covering supply, installation and any associated making good or decoration.
Before work starts, we agree a programme with you so you know exactly when the installation will take place and how long it will take. Because partitioning work often happens in occupied buildings, we plan the sequence carefully to keep disruption to a minimum and maintain safe access throughout.
On site, we work cleanly and efficiently, coordinating with any other trades involved in the project. When the installation is complete, we carry out a thorough check before handing the space back so everything meets the standard you’d expect. If you’re based in Portsmouth, across Hampshire or anywhere on the South Coast and you’re considering new office partitions, get in touch to arrange a site visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
The main options are stud and drylining partitions, glazed partitions, demountable partitions, acoustic partitions and fire rated systems. The right choice depends on your budget, the acoustic performance you need and how you want the finished space to look and feel.
A fixed partition is a permanent structure built into the fabric of the building, while a demountable partition uses a system that you can reconfigure or relocate without significant disruption. Demountable systems are a good option if your space requirements are likely to change over time.

Reviews
Posted on Seaspray FifteenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been working with CBS for over a decade on small and medium sized projects for BIMM University. They have always been consistent and work to a high standard. They have often helped me get out of problematic situations with last minute turnarounds.Posted on Lee BryantTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used CBS on numerous occasions now for fit-out, refurbishment, construction and demolition works for large commercial spaces in Horsham and Burgess Hill and can't recommend them highly enough. They come with a wealth of experience and as well as helping to facilitate a pleasant and stress-free experience from planning, through execution, to completion, are an invaluable source of consultation. During all projects, they have always gone the extra mile to ensure the project is carried out in alignment with organisational requirements, ensuring all internal processes are followed at each stage. Additionally, they have an excellent network of sub-contractors to utilise, who have helped with many of our more specialist requirements. They also always maintain excellent communication, responding to requests and queries promptly, and have been very thorough ensuring statutory compliance is achieved at all times. Above all, all members of the CBS team are very personable and a pleasure to work with.Posted on Amy FeistTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’re really grateful to Steve and the team at CBS for all the work they have completed at Havelock Community Centre. They’ve installed new LED lighting throughout the building, fixed some damaged flooring, and we’re now working with them on bigger projects planned for the end of summer, including new astro turf, new flooring, and other jobs. They’re friendly, professional, and always quick to respond with helpful ideas and solutions. The work is always finished to a high standard, and they’re a team we completely trust. Highly recommend!Posted on Tony BrewsterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Quick service, great quality. Very happy to use again.
