Before you order 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.

Getting metal studs and ceiling sections onto your Stockport site

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

  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
  • In summer Stockport gets around 17h 01m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • On busy streets in Stockport, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
