Dry-Lining Screws

Designed specifically for fixing plasterboard to metal studs, our dry-lining screws feature deep, aggressive threads and sharp needle points for rapid penetration and superior holding power. The hardened steel construction ensures they cut cleanly through thin-gauge steel without the need for pre-drilling, saving time on-site. Ideal for high-volume drywall installation, they’re a must-have for any professional dry-liner aiming for efficiency and strength.

Low Profile Screws

When appearance and finish matter just as much as strength, our Low Profile Screws deliver. Crafted to sit discreetly against metal surfaces, their slim head design minimises surface protrusion — ideal for fixing U-tracks, metal trims, and internal channels where aesthetics and flush fitting are key. Made from hardened carbon steel and available in multiple lengths, these screws are perfect for tight clearances and concealed applications.

Metal Framing Screws

Built to be the backbone of steel frame construction, these screws provide superior performance in heavy-duty settings. Whether securing interior partitions, floor runners, or ceiling grids, they offer excellent thread engagement and high torsional resistance. Available in various head styles, thread pitches, and sizes to match steel gauges from 0.5mm up to 2.5mm, our metal framing screws are the reliable choice for long-lasting structural integrity.

Standard Profile Screws

These are your go-to for general-purpose metal or timber framing. With a slightly raised head and balanced thread depth, they offer a cost-effective solution without sacrificing durability. Perfect for non-visible fixings, modular builds, and rapid assembly work, these screws are versatile enough to handle timber battening, secondary fix frames, or mixed-material sections across a variety of job sites.

Wafer Head Screws

Known for their broad, flat heads, wafer head screws are ideal for attaching thin gauge metal to metal. The wide bearing surface helps prevent pull-through and distributes load more evenly — reducing deformation on lightweight materials. Use these where aesthetics matter, such as fixing angle beads, perforated strips, or ceiling tile supports. Their flush finish and stable hold make them essential in precision jobs requiring a seamless appearance.

Construction Screws

The all-rounders of any builder’s kit. Whether you're joining timber to steel, anchoring metal brackets, or assembling prefabricated components, our construction screws are up to the task. They feature reinforced shanks, sharp cutting threads, and a corrosion-resistant coating for exceptional drive performance across diverse substrates. From renovation jobs to full site builds, these screws are engineered for torque, traction, and tenacity.

Shop by Use or Need

We understand that every job site is different — so why settle for a one-size-fits-all solution? At BuilderStuff, we make it easy for you to shop based on application:

Screwing into Metal Frames

Need a screw for metal frame setups? Look no further. Our self-tapping framing screws are precision-hardened to drive cleanly into steel up to 2.5mm thick without pre-drilling.

Steel Stud Partitioning

If you’re building stud walls using galvanised steel, our dry lining screws and steel framing screws provide the fast, clean fix you need.

Fixing Tracks to Concrete or Timber

Combine low profile screws with wall plugs for secure fastening of U-tracks into masonry. Need something beefier? Try Timco construction screws — tried and tested across UK sites.

Finishing With a Flush Look

Use our wafer head screws to maintain a sleek, smooth surface — especially when fixing corner beads, trims, or thin gauge steel connectors.

Weather Resistance for External Metal Fixings

Our zinc-coated and corrosion-resistant screws ensure your exterior fixings won’t rust or fail over time — even in the UK’s wettest conditions.
