What should Lanarkshire projects plan for?
In Hamilton, 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.
Plenty of Hamilton businesses are growing into space they already lease, so we often reconfigure existing partitions and add new rooms in the same project.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Lanarkshire?
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 Lanarkshire?
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.
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.
Work around your hours
Evening and weekend installation can be arranged for occupied Hamilton offices, keeping disruption to a minimum.
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
| Test standard | Non-loadbearing walls tested to BS EN 1364-1 (older data to BS 476-22) |
|---|---|
| Boarding | One to three layers of 12.5mm or 15mm fire-resistant plasterboard each side |
| Insulation | Mineral wool to the system specification |
| Head detail | Tested fire-rated deflection head to accommodate slab movement |
Surveys across Lanarkshire
We cover Hamilton along with nearby Hamilton, East Kilbride and Motherwell. 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.
How does a project run?
Book a survey
A member of the team measures the Hamilton office, notes access and services, and discusses layout, privacy and acoustics with you.
Design and fixed price
You receive a layout, specification and a fixed, itemised quote. Nothing is ordered until you are happy with the drawings.
Production and logistics
Made-to-measure panels are produced and we book deliveries, lifts and parking around your building.

Fire Rated Partition Walls in Lanarkshire: FAQs
How soon can you start on a Hamilton 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 Hamilton office that stays open.
Can you work out of hours at our Hamilton office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Hamilton 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 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 Hamilton project is a single room or a whole floor, we will survey, design and install your fire rated partition walls with one team.
