What should Aberdeen projects plan for?
Aberdeen has a broad mix of workplaces — town-centre offices, business parks, healthcare sites and light industrial units — and each needs a slightly different approach to fixing, acoustics and access.
Smaller floorplates in Aberdeen make every metre count, so we often recommend glass that keeps daylight moving across the office while still giving managers a private room.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Aberdeen?
The required duration (30, 60 or 90 minutes), number of fire board layers, wall height and the extent of fire stopping around services and at the head set the price. Typical lead time: 1–3 weeks. Guide prices, supply and install — fixed after a free survey.
Why choose us in Aberdeen?
Acoustic bonus
Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.
One point of contact
A single project contact handles survey, drawings, ordering and installation, so you are not chasing different trades.
Covering all of Aberdeen
Survey and installation teams cover Aberdeen and the wider Aberdeen area, including Aberdeen and Dyce.
Penetrations planned
Services crossing the wall are coordinated in advance and sealed with tested products, which is where most fire walls actually fail in inspections.
Office fit-outs often include walls that have a fire job to do: corridor walls on a protected escape route, enclosures around stairs, risers and plant, and walls that separate tenancies or compartments. A fire rated partition wall is built using the board manufacturer's tested system, specifying stud size, board type and number of layers, fixings, insulation and how the head and junctions are detailed. Follow that system and the wall carries its classified rating; deviate from it and the rating no longer applies.
Key specifications

Fire Rated Partition Walls in Aberdeen: FAQs
How soon can you start on a Aberdeen project?
Typical lead time for fire rated partition walls is 1–3 weeks from signed-off drawings, mostly because materials are made to measure. Installation itself is usually a matter of days for a typical office, and we can phase work around a Aberdeen office that stays open.
Do you cover areas near Aberdeen?
Yes. As well as Aberdeen we regularly cover Aberdeen, Dyce and Dyce, plus the rest of Aberdeen and Scotland. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.
What makes a partition wall fire rated?
A partition wall is fire rated when it is built to a manufacturer's tested system, using the specified studs, fire-resistant boards, insulation, fixings and head detail, and installed exactly as tested. Every service penetration must also be fire stopped with compatible tested products. Using fire board alone does not make a wall fire rated.
How long does a fire rated stud wall last in a fire?
Office fire walls are commonly classified for 30, 60 or 90 minutes, such as EI 30 or EI 60. That figure is the time the tested wall maintained integrity and insulation in a standard furnace test. The duration you need is set by the building's fire strategy and Approved Document B.
