Estimating your metal studs and ceiling sections

A 9 m metal stud partition at 600 mm centres needs 16 studs and 18 m of track, plus boards and self-drilling screws. Taller walls may need deeper studs or closer centres; follow the system maker's tables.

Planning the drop in Tyne and Wear

Sections come in bundles in long lengths; tell us about access for 3 m plus lengths. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Tyne and Wear.

  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
  • Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Before you order metal studs and ceiling sections

Stud width and height

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

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.

Your questions answered

What sizes do metal studs come in?

Common widths are 50, 70, 92 and 146 mm, in lengths to suit wall heights.

Can I add other materials to my Tyne and Wear delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from metal studs and ceiling sections to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

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

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

What is an MF ceiling?

A suspended plasterboard ceiling built from steel channels hung from the structure above, used to create a flat ceiling below an uneven soffit or to hide services.
