Finish coat

Undercoat for the background

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

Working out quantities for your Canvey Island job

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.

How delivery works in Canvey Island

Bags come on a pallet or with a mixed load; keep them dry and off the floor. Canvey Island is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
  • In summer Canvey Island gets around 16h 39m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Plaster & Beads questions

Do you deliver plaster to trades and homeowners in Canvey Island?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

Why does my plaster go off too quickly?

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

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.

Can I add other materials to my Canvey Island delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from plaster to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.
