I have been quoted this for 2 x 2 wood for building a partition wall.....


47 X 50 MM WHITEWOOD OFF SAW TREATED 48.00 £77.02 100 M £36.97
I think the above means 48M *charged at £77 per 100M rate =£36.97


Question ..does it have to be treated? or should I be able to use
something cheaper?


The wall will be this size...
Wall width (9ft 8inches *2 x lengths) *Floor ceiling height (9ft 9
inches *x 8 lengths)


No need for treated wood, unless its likely to get wet regularly, eg
next to a bath.

2x2 for a partition wall is very slender. If skimmed it'll pop bits of
the skim off, and either way it'll conduct sound terribly unless you
take effective soundproofing measures. 2x4 is more usual.
