Getting plaster onto your Atherton site
Bags come on a pallet or with a mixed load; keep them dry and off the floor. Atherton is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- 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.
Sizing your order
Skimming 50 m² of walls and ceilings at about 2 mm takes around 5 bags of 25 kg finishing plaster, plus angle beads for external corners. Coverage varies with the background, so allow a spare bag.
Before you order plaster
Finish coat
Board finish is made for plasterboard; multi-finish suits most undercoats and board.
Fresh stock matters
Old plaster sets fast and unevenly. Order it close to when you need it and keep bags dry.
