What should Moray projects plan for?
For Elgin businesses that share a building, we keep noise, dust and deliveries to agreed windows so neighbours are not disturbed.
For Elgin buildings with older timber floors or plastered ceilings, we check fixings and deflection on survey so the partitions stay true once the building moves with the seasons.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Moray?
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 Moray?
Covering all of Moray
Survey and installation teams cover Elgin and the wider Moray area, including Elgin and Forres.
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 Elgin
We measure the space, check ceilings, floors and services, and talk through how you want the office to work before anything is priced.
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.
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 Moray
Survey visits across Moray — including Elgin, Elgin and Forres — 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?
Book a survey
A member of the team measures the Elgin office, notes access and services, and discusses layout, privacy and acoustics with you.
Drawings and quote
We prepare drawings and an itemised fixed price, adjusting the design until it works for your team and budget.
Manufacture and planning
Glass and components are made to the surveyed sizes while we plan access, deliveries and any out-of-hours working.
Installation and handover
The team installs, snags and cleans, then hands over the site with any test evidence and care guidance.

Fire Rated Partition Walls in Moray: FAQs
Can you work out of hours at our Elgin office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Elgin so the office keeps running. Out-of-hours working usually adds a percentage to the labour cost, which is shown clearly on the quote.
Do you cover areas near Elgin?
Yes. As well as Elgin we regularly cover Elgin, Forres and Buckie, plus the rest of Moray and Scotland. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.
What makes a partition wall fire rated?
A partition wall is fire rated when it is built to a manufacturer's tested system, using the specified studs, fire-resistant boards, insulation, fixings and head detail, and installed exactly as tested. Every service penetration must also be fire stopped with compatible tested products. Using fire board alone does not make a wall fire rated.
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.
