Things to check before you order

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.

Stud width and height

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

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.

Getting metal studs and ceiling sections onto your Harpenden site

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

• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• In summer Harpenden gets around 16h 42m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Working out quantities for your Harpenden job

A 9 m metal stud partition at 600 mm centres needs 16 studs and 18 m of track, plus boards and self-drilling screws. Taller walls may need deeper studs or closer centres; follow the system maker's tables.

Metal Stud & Ceiling Systems questions

How soon can metal studs and ceiling sections be delivered in Harpenden?

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.

Can metal stud walls be fire rated?

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

What is an MF ceiling?

A suspended plasterboard ceiling built from steel channels hung from the structure above, used to create a flat ceiling below an uneven soffit or to hide services.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Harpenden?

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.
