How delivery works in Farnborough

Sections come in bundles in long lengths; tell us about access for 3 m plus lengths. Farnborough 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.
  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

Choosing metal studs and ceiling sections

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.

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.

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 Farnborough job

A 3 m metal stud partition at 600 mm centres needs 6 studs and 6 m of track, plus boards and self-drilling screws. Taller walls may need deeper studs or closer centres; follow the system maker's tables.

Ordering metal studs and ceiling sections for Farnborough: FAQs

Can you deliver metal studs and ceiling sections to a site with restricted access in Farnborough?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

What sizes do metal studs come in?

Common widths are 50, 70, 92 and 146 mm, in lengths to suit wall heights.

Are metal studs better than timber?

They are straight, light and dimensionally stable. Timber is often easier for domestic jobs and for fixing heavy items. Both work well when designed properly.
