What CLS timber can we deliver to Guildford?

  • Noggins and head platesCut from the same stock.
  • 38 × 89 mm CLSFor taller partitions, more insulation depth or heavier boards.
  • 38 × 63 mm CLSFor non-loadbearing partitions and boxing in.
  • Graded CLSC16 or C24 graded CLS for loadbearing studwork where specified.

How delivery works in Guildford

CLS travels in bundles alongside plasterboard and is easy to hand off at the kerb. Guildford is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
  • Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.

Things to check before you order

Stud spacing

Studs are usually set at 400 mm or 600 mm centres to suit 1200 mm wide plasterboard.

Loadbearing walls

If the wall carries load it needs graded timber to a design. Plain CLS is not automatically structural.

Estimating your CLS timber

A 4.8 m partition 2.4 m high at 400 mm centres takes 13 CLS studs, 9.6 m of head and sole plate and a row of noggins, then boarding on both sides. Work out the boards too

Your questions answered

Can CLS be used for loadbearing walls?

Only if it is strength graded and the wall is designed for the load. Ask for graded CLS if your design calls for it.

Do you deliver CLS timber to trades and homeowners in Guildford?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

How soon can CLS timber be delivered in Guildford?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

How many studs do I need?

Divide the wall length by the stud spacing (400 or 600 mm), add one, then add plates and noggins. Our plasterboard calculator gives the boards for the same wall.
