• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.

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 Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.

Your questions answered

Can metal stud walls be fire rated?

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

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

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.

Do you deliver metal studs and ceiling sections to trades and homeowners in Prestwick?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

What screws do metal studs need?

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