Before you order metal studs and ceiling sections

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 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.

Delivery to Seaham: what helps

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

  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
  • In summer Seaham gets around 17h 20m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around SR7 are priced to the exact address.
