Plaster & Beads for Ballymena, delivered to site
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.
SK Trade prices plaster delivered to Ballymena and the rest of County Antrim, so the cost and the delivery date are agreed before anything is loaded.

Plaster & Beads: choosing well
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.
A quick quantity check
Skimming 60 m² of walls and ceilings at about 2 mm takes around 6 bags of 25 kg finishing plaster, plus angle beads for external corners. Coverage varies with the background, so allow a spare bag.
Delivery to Ballymena: what helps
Bags come on a pallet or with a mixed load; keep them dry and off the floor. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.
- Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
- Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
Your questions answered
How much plaster do I need to skim a wall?
A 25 kg bag of finishing plaster covers roughly 10 square metres at a 2 mm skim, but coverage varies with the background and thickness. Check the bag.
Which undercoat for a brick wall?
Hardwall is the usual choice for high-suction backgrounds like brick and blockwork.
Can you deliver plaster to a site with restricted access in Ballymena?
Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.
Do you deliver plaster to trades and homeowners in Ballymena?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
