Before your Rochester delivery arrives

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

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• On busy streets in Rochester, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• In summer Rochester gets around 16h 37m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Picking the right product

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.

Estimating your metal studs and ceiling sections

A 6 m metal stud partition at 600 mm centres needs 11 studs and 12 m of track, plus boards and self-drilling screws. Taller walls may need deeper studs or closer centres; follow the system maker's tables.
