Plaster & Beads for sites in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire

Gypsum plasters are bagged powders mixed with water: undercoats such as bonding and hardwall build up the surface, and finish coats such as multi-finish and board finish give the smooth final skim.

Across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, from Aberdeen to Stonehaven, we supply plaster delivered to site with the price and date confirmed in writing.

Skimming 30 m² of walls and ceilings at about 2 mm takes around 3 bags of 25 kg finishing plaster, plus angle beads for external corners. Coverage varies with the background, so allow a spare bag.

How delivery works in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire

Bags come on a pallet or with a mixed load; keep them dry and off the floor. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.

  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

Before you order plaster

Fresh stock matters

Old plaster sets fast and unevenly. Order it close to when you need it and keep bags dry.

Finish coat

Board finish is made for plasterboard; multi-finish suits most undercoats and board.
