What should Dundee projects plan for?
Converted buildings in and around Dundee often bring tricky ceiling lines and out-of-square walls; site-measured glass and adjustable head tracks take care of both.
Smaller floorplates in Dundee make every metre count, so we often recommend glass that keeps daylight moving across the office while still giving managers a private room.
How much do metal stud partition walls cost in Dundee?
Wall height, board layers, insulation, skimming versus tape-and-joint finish, and any fire or acoustic upgrade move the cost per m² within this range. Typical lead time: 1–2 weeks. Guide prices, supply and install — fixed after a free survey.
Why choose us in Dundee?
Easy for services
The cavity takes power, data and pipework easily, and back boxes for sockets and switches can be fitted at any height during the build.
Snagging and aftercare
We return to adjust doors and closers after the building settles, and repairs or alterations are only a call away.
Light on the floor
Steel studs and plasterboard weigh far less than blockwork, which matters on upper floors, raised floors and older buildings with limited loading capacity.
Tested systems, documented
We use manufacturers' tested partition systems and hand over the relevant performance and test evidence at completion.
Stud walls also form the solid sections in mixed partitions: a glazed meeting room may have plasterboard walls either side, or a solid dado below a glazed screen. We frame openings for doors and glazing, add timber or steel pattresses where TVs, shelving or wall-hung units will go, and build to full height or to the underside of the ceiling depending on acoustic needs. A single-layer wall with insulation gives typically Rw 40–45 dB in lab tests, and the same system scales up for acoustic and fire-rated versions.
Key specifications
| Boarding | 12.5mm or 15mm plasterboard, single or double layer each side |
|---|---|
| Insulation | 25–100mm mineral wool in the cavity |
| Maximum height | Depends on stud size and centres; typically up to approx. 4–6m with heavier studs |
| Finish | Taped and jointed or skim plaster, ready for decoration |
Surveys across Dundee
Survey visits across Dundee — including Dundee, Dundee and Broughty Ferry — 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 Dundee 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.
Manufacture and planning
Glass and components are made to the surveyed sizes while we plan access, deliveries and any out-of-hours working.
Install and sign-off
We fit the partitions with minimal disruption, complete snagging and walk you through the finished space.

Metal Stud Partition Walls in Dundee: FAQs
How much do metal stud partition walls cost in Dundee?
Our guide price for metal stud partition walls is £55–£90 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Dundee project depends on the measured size, doors, glass or board specification and access, and is fixed after the free survey.
How soon can you start on a Dundee project?
Typical lead time for metal stud partition walls is 1–2 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 Dundee office that stays open.
How soundproof is a metal stud partition wall?
A single-layer stud wall with mineral wool insulation typically achieves around Rw 40–45 dB in lab tests. That stops normal speech being understood in most offices. For higher privacy, double layers of acoustic board and resilient bars can reach about Rw 50–58 dB. On-site results are usually a little lower.
Can you hang TVs and shelves on a metal stud wall?
Yes, if pattresses are built in. We fit timber or steel backing between the studs at the agreed positions during construction, so screens, shelving, whiteboards and wall-hung units have a solid fixing. Tell us what will be mounted and where before the wall is boarded.
Whether your Dundee project is a single room or a whole floor, we will survey, design and install your metal stud partition walls with one team.
