What should Highland projects plan for?
In Inverness, installations are often completed in a few days, and we can usually start on site soon after drawings are signed off because the survey answers the practical questions early.
Business parks around Inverness usually offer open floorplates with suspended ceilings, which suit glazed meeting rooms and full-height partitions once the ceiling void and services have been checked.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Highland?
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 Highland?
Landlord-ready paperwork
Drawings, method statements and risk assessments are supplied for your landlord or managing agent's approval.
Tidy, protected sites
Floors and finishes are protected, waste is removed and the area is cleaned before handover.
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.
Acoustic bonus
Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.
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 Highland
We cover Inverness along with nearby Inverness, Fort William and Thurso. 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.

Manufacture and planning
Glass and components are made to the surveyed sizes while we plan access, deliveries and any out-of-hours working.

Fire Rated Partition Walls in Highland: FAQs
Do you install fire rated partition walls in Inverness?
Yes. We survey, supply and install fire rated partition walls throughout Inverness and the wider Highland area, including Inverness and Fort William. The survey is free and you receive a fixed, written quote before any work is booked.
Can you work out of hours at our Inverness office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Inverness so the office keeps running. Out-of-hours working usually adds a percentage to the labour cost, which is shown clearly on the quote.
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.
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.
