Plaster & Beads for Braintree, 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 Braintree and the rest of Essex, so the cost and the delivery date are agreed before anything is loaded.

How much plaster do I need to skim a wall?
