What should Edinburgh projects plan for?
In a city like Edinburgh, out-of-hours working is often the difference between a smooth install and a lost week. We regularly phase work over evenings and weekends to keep occupied floors running.
Across Edinburgh we see a lot of mixed-use space — offices next to workshops, clinics or showrooms — where partitions have to deal with noise, dust or fire separation as well as privacy.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Edinburgh?
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 Edinburgh?
Acoustic bonus
Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.
Handover records
You receive the system classification, fire-stopping record and photographs, giving your fire risk assessor and Building Control clear evidence of what was built.
Work around your hours
Evening and weekend installation can be arranged for occupied Edinburgh offices, keeping disruption to a minimum.
Landlord-ready paperwork
Drawings, method statements and risk assessments are supplied for your landlord or managing agent's approval.
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.

Surveys across Edinburgh
Survey visits across Edinburgh — including Edinburgh, Edinburgh and Leith — are free and carry no obligation. We measure, photograph and note services so the quote is accurate first time.
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.
How does a project run?
Measure and assess
We take accurate measurements on site in Edinburgh, check the ceiling void and floor, and agree what the new layout must achieve.
Specification sign-off
Drawings, system choice, glass and door details are confirmed in writing alongside a fixed quote.
Manufacture and planning
Glass and components are made to the surveyed sizes while we plan access, deliveries and any out-of-hours working.
Fit, check and hand over

Fire Rated Partition Walls in Edinburgh: FAQs
Do you install fire rated partition walls in Edinburgh?
Yes. We survey, supply and install fire rated partition walls throughout Edinburgh and the wider Edinburgh area, including Edinburgh and Leith. The survey is free and you receive a fixed, written quote before any work is booked.
How soon can you start on a Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh office that stays open.
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.
Do fire rated walls need fire doors?
Yes. A door in a fire rated wall must be a fire door set tested to the same or appropriate rating, with compatible frame, hinges, closer, seals and signage. A standard door undermines the wall. We supply complete tested door sets and can check existing doors for suitability.
Whether your Edinburgh project is a single room or a whole floor, we will survey, design and install your fire rated partition walls with one team.
