  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Things to check before you order

Fresh stock matters

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

Undercoat for the background

Hardwall suits high-suction backgrounds like brick and block; bonding suits low-suction backgrounds like concrete or painted surfaces.

How much will you need?

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.

Questions about plaster delivery in Basildon

How soon can plaster be delivered in Basildon?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

Can you deliver plaster to a site with restricted access in Basildon?

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.

What is the difference between multi-finish and board finish?

Board finish is designed for skimming plasterboard. Multi-finish works on plasterboard and on undercoat plasters, so it is the more flexible choice.

Why does my plaster go off too quickly?

Old or damp plaster sets faster. Use bags within their date and store them dry.
