thanks for the help, im not too far from you - barry! having some crazy quotes, one came back as £830!!!! Think I might try to tackle this one myself. Can I just ask which size timber and width plasterboard would be best to use? We are also trying to keep some heat in so Im guessing insulation...

hi all, i wonder if someone can give me an idea of a price to fit a stud wall. its to be 3x3.5 meters with one door. if anyone can give me an idea of a cost for materials and also how much i should be paying to have this done, or if in fact it is the type of thing a competent diy-er can do...

the link to the album with the pics in is:- //www.diynot.com/network/nickkinix/albums/5312 Hope someone can help!!
