Sections come in bundles in long lengths; tell us about access for 3 m plus lengths. Bedford is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Things to check before you order

Follow the system

Metal stud partitions and ceilings are designed as tested systems with specific boards, sections and screws. Order to the system specification, especially where fire or acoustic ratings apply.

Metal or timber?

Metal studs are straight, light and do not shrink or twist; timber is easier for fixing heavy items and is more familiar on domestic jobs.

In England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.

Yes. Put everything on one list, from metal studs and ceiling sections to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Bedford?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

Self-drilling drywall screws for fixing boards to metal, and wafer-head screws for joining sections.

Can metal stud walls be fire rated?

Yes, when built as the tested system with the specified boards, insulation and fixings.
