What is different about partitioning in Arbroath?
Workplaces near Arbroath often combine office space with storage or production, which is where solid stud walls, in-plant offices and glazed screens work well together.
A small team in Arbroath usually wants the job done quickly and tidily; most compact installations are finished in one or two days once the glass or boards are ready.
What do fire rated partition walls cost in Arbroath?
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 do Arbroath businesses choose us?
Covering all of Angus
Survey and installation teams cover Arbroath and the wider Angus area, including Montrose and Brechin.
Work around your hours
Evening and weekend installation can be arranged for occupied Arbroath offices, keeping disruption to a minimum.
Built to the tested system
We follow the manufacturer's tested details for studs, boards, fixings and head, so the wall achieves the classification it is meant to have.
Acoustic bonus
Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.
Typical fire rated partition walls projects we see in Arbroath include protected escape corridors, server, comms and plant rooms and tenancy separation walls. Services crossing the wall are coordinated in advance and sealed with tested products, which is where most fire walls actually fail in inspections.

Questions about fire rated partition walls in Arbroath
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Arbroath?

Do you cover areas near Arbroath?
Yes. As well as Arbroath we regularly cover Montrose, Brechin and Broughty Ferry, plus the rest of Angus 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.
Whether your Arbroath project is a single room or a whole floor, we will survey, design and install your fire rated partition walls with one team.
