Tom Sutton Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 You can achieve 30 min fire resistance with a stud wall 75mm thickness timber and a single layer of 12.5mm fireline plasterboard on each side and the cavity is filled with rockwool type insulation, however the fireline board and rockwool would be belt and braces? It will require building regulation approval and as it is them who will provide the completion certificate you should contact them as they may have guidance notes to assist you.
