What should Glasgow projects plan for?
Parking and loading in central Glasgow can be restricted, so glass deliveries are booked into agreed slots and panels are sized to fit the lifts and stairwells we measured on survey.
Many Glasgow workplaces are owner-occupied, which makes it easier to choose systems for the long term — acoustic glass for meeting rooms, for example, rather than the cheapest option.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Glasgow?
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 Glasgow?
One point of contact
A single project contact handles survey, drawings, ordering and installation, so you are not chasing different trades.
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.
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.
Free survey in Glasgow
We measure the space, check ceilings, floors and services, and talk through how you want the office to work before anything is priced.
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
| Classification | EI 30, EI 60 or EI 90 integrity and insulation, to the tested system |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| Acoustic performance | Approx. Rw 45–55 dB depending on build-up (lab) |
Surveys across Glasgow
Survey visits across Glasgow — including Glasgow, Glasgow and Govan — 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.

Fire Rated Partition Walls in Glasgow: FAQs
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Glasgow?
Our guide price for fire rated partition walls is £75–£125 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Glasgow project depends on the measured size, doors, glass or board specification and access, and is fixed after the free survey.
How soon can you start on a Glasgow 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 Glasgow office that stays open.
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.
Who signs off a fire rated partition wall?
Where walls affect escape routes or compartmentation, Building Control normally reviews and inspects the work. Your fire risk assessor will also want evidence for the fire risk assessment. We hand over the system classification, fire-stopping records and photographs so both can verify what was built.
