Things to check before you order

Stud width and height

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

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

Delivery to Stonehaven: what helps

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

• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
