What should Port Glasgow offices plan for?
In and around Port Glasgow many offices are in converted buildings, rural business units or small suites, so we design partitions to suit the space rather than forcing a standard layout.
For Port Glasgow businesses that share a building, we keep noise, dust and deliveries to agreed windows so neighbours are not disturbed.
What do fire rated partition walls cost in Port 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.

You receive the system classification, fire-stopping record and photographs, giving your fire risk assessor and Building Control clear evidence of what was built.
Free survey in Port Glasgow

One point of contact

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.
Typical fire rated partition walls projects we see in Port Glasgow include protected escape corridors, tenancy separation walls and kitchens and storage rooms. Services crossing the wall are coordinated in advance and sealed with tested products, which is where most fire walls actually fail in inspections.

Questions about fire rated partition walls in Port Glasgow
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Port Glasgow?
Our guide price for fire rated partition walls is £75–£125 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Port Glasgow project depends on the measured size, doors, glass or board specification and access, and is fixed after the free survey.
Do you cover areas near Port Glasgow?
Yes. As well as Port Glasgow we regularly cover Greenock, Dumbarton and Gourock, plus the rest of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde 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.
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.
