What should Galashiels offices plan for?
In and around Galashiels 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.
Workplaces near Galashiels often combine office space with storage or production, which is where solid stud walls, in-plant offices and glazed screens work well together.
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Galashiels?
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 do Galashiels businesses choose us?
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.
One point of contact
A single project contact handles survey, drawings, ordering and installation, so you are not chasing different trades.
Covering all of Scottish Borders
Survey and installation teams cover Galashiels and the wider Scottish Borders area, including Hawick and Kelso.
Acoustic bonus
Multi-layer fire walls are also good acoustic walls, so plant rooms and stair enclosures keep noise away from the surrounding office.
Typical fire rated partition walls projects we see in Galashiels include protected escape corridors, server, comms and plant rooms and riser enclosures. You receive the system classification, fire-stopping record and photographs, giving your fire risk assessor and Building Control clear evidence of what was built.

Questions about fire rated partition walls in Galashiels
How much do fire rated partition walls cost in Galashiels?
Our guide price for fire rated partition walls is £75–£125 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Galashiels 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 Galashiels?
Yes. As well as Galashiels we regularly cover Hawick, Kelso and Peebles, plus the rest of Scottish Borders and Scotland. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.
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.
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.
