randomly hit the keyboard and produced:

Which builder was it that put a house up with a wall so thin it
moved if hit with a screwdriver? It wouldn't pass a building
inspection in the condition you describe.

The only Building Regulations requirement for a non-loadbearing wall
is airborne sound insulation. One layer of 12mm p/bd each side and
25mm mineral fibre between the studs will suffice. The studs may be
75mm timber or 45mm metal. There's no requirements for robustness or
impact resistance.

Thanks for that. I reckon it must have been 75mm timber as the overall
thickness seemed about 100mm.
