Planning the drop in Rayleigh

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

  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around SS6 are priced to the exact address.
  • In summer Rayleigh gets around 16h 39m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.

Picking the right product

Loadbearing walls

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

Stud spacing

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

A quick quantity check

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
