How delivery works
We work with a nationwide network of trusted suppliers. Items in your basket may be supplied by different suppliers and delivered separately. Where this applies, you will see delivery charges shown at checkout for each part of your order. We always aim to group products from the same supplier to keep delivery costs as low as possible.

Delivery charges apply to mainland UK, excluding: AB, CA, CF, DD, DG, EH, EX, FK, KA, KW, KY, IV, LA, LD, LL, ML, NP, PA, PH, PL, SA, SY, TR, TQ and TD.
If your address is in one of these areas, we will contact you before processing your order to confirm any additional costs. We do not currently offer delivery outside the UK mainland.
What to expect on delivery day
- Deliveries are typically kerbside.
- Please ensure someone is on-site to accept delivery. For heavier items, help with offloading may be required.
- Many building materials arrive on large vehicles. If access is restricted, a specialist vehicle such as a HIAB may be required and could incur an additional charge.
Why delivery can cost more than typical parcel delivery
Building materials often travel on larger vehicles and usually carry fewer drops per run than parcel networks. That is why delivery charges can be higher than standard e-commerce shipping.
Returns
Returns depend on what you have bought and whether there is anything wrong with it. For full details on eligibility, timeframes, and exclusions, please see our full policy.

Product Overview
3600mm galvanised steel furring channel for use in suspended ceiling frameworks.
Within the MF ceiling system, the MF5 profile works in conjunction with MF7 primary channels and MF6A perimeter channels, forming the secondary layer that directly carries the plasterboard lining.
Constructed from robust galvanised steel, the channel delivers excellent strength and long-term resistance to corrosion, maintaining integrity throughout the service life of the ceiling.
It is engineered to meet recognised performance standards for suspended ceiling construction, ensuring reliability across a range of settings.
When combined with other MF components, the channel forms a rigid and durable framework capable of supporting both standard and specialist plasterboards.
