Planning the drop in Cheltenham

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

• On busy streets in Cheltenham, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

Choosing metal studs and ceiling sections

Stud width and height

Taller walls need deeper studs or closer centres; the system maker's height tables show the limits.

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.

Working out quantities for your Cheltenham job

A 5.4 m metal stud partition at 600 mm centres needs 10 studs and 10.8 m of track, plus boards and self-drilling screws. Taller walls may need deeper studs or closer centres; follow the system maker's tables.
