What should Ayrshire projects plan for?
For Ayr buildings with older timber floors or plastered ceilings, we check fixings and deflection on survey so the partitions stay true once the building moves with the seasons.
Where a Ayr building has a managing agent, we provide method statements, risk assessments and drawings in advance so the licence for alterations is not held up.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Ayrshire?
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 Ayrshire?
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.
Tidy, protected sites
Floors and finishes are protected, waste is removed and the area is cleaned before handover.
Acoustic bonus
Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.
Fixed price, in writing
Your quote lists the system, glass, doors, finishes and any extras, so the figure you approve is the figure you pay.
The most common failures are not the boards but the gaps. Cables, pipes and ducts passing through the wall, sockets and back boxes, deflection heads and junctions with the façade all need fire stopping that is compatible with the wall's rating. We plan penetrations with your M&E contractor, use tested fire-stopping products and record what was installed, with photos taken before the second side is closed. At handover you receive the system classification and the fire-stopping record, which your fire risk assessor and Building Control will want to see.
Key specifications
| Classification | EI 30, EI 60 or EI 90 integrity and insulation, to the tested system |
|---|---|
| Boarding | One to three layers of 12.5mm or 15mm fire-resistant plasterboard each side |
| Insulation | Mineral wool to the system specification |
| Fire stopping | Tested collars, wraps, sealants and batts for every penetration |
Surveys across Ayrshire
We cover Ayr along with nearby Ayr, Kilmarnock and Irvine. Surveys are free and usually take under an hour for a typical office floor.
In Scotland, building standards are administered by local authority verifiers, and some partition works need a building warrant; we flag anything that may need one at survey stage.

We visit your Ayr premises, measure up, check ceilings, floors and services and talk through how the space needs to work.

Materials are ordered to exact sizes and we agree installation dates, working hours and site rules with you.

Fire Rated Partition Walls in Ayrshire: FAQs
Will our Ayr landlord need to approve the partitions?
If you lease your Ayr office, the lease will usually require landlord consent — often a licence for alterations — before partitions are installed. We supply drawings, specifications and method statements to support the application.
Do you cover areas near Ayr?
Yes. As well as Ayr we regularly cover Ayr, Kilmarnock and Irvine, plus the rest of Ayrshire and Scotland. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.
How much does a fire rated partition wall cost?
Fire rated partition walls typically cost £75–£125 per m² supplied and installed, excluding VAT. A 30-minute wall with one layer of fire board each side sits at the lower end; 60 or 90-minute walls with multiple layers and extensive fire stopping sit at the top. Fire doors are priced separately. We confirm a fixed price after a free survey.
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.
