What should Fife projects plan for?

Smaller floorplates in Dunfermline make every metre count, so we often recommend glass that keeps daylight moving across the office while still giving managers a private room.

Converted buildings in and around Dunfermline often bring tricky ceiling lines and out-of-square walls; site-measured glass and adjustable head tracks take care of both.

How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Fife?

£75–£125 per m² + VAT

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 Fife?

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.

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.

Tidy, protected sites

Floors and finishes are protected, waste is removed and the area is cleaned before handover.

Covering all of Fife

Survey and installation teams cover Dunfermline and the wider Fife area, including Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy.

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

Test standard	Non-loadbearing walls tested to BS EN 1364-1 (older data to BS 476-22)
Framing	Steel studs 50–146mm at the system's specified centres
Boarding	One to three layers of 12.5mm or 15mm fire-resistant plasterboard each side
Fire stopping	Tested collars, wraps, sealants and batts for every penetration

Surveys across Fife

Survey visits across Fife — including Dunfermline, Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy — 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.

Who signs off a fire rated partition wall?
