Plaster & Beads delivery in Caterham

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.

Trades and homeowners in Caterham can order plaster for delivery by sending a list, a drawing or just the sizes of the job.

Getting the right plaster

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.

Quantities: a worked example

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 Caterham

Bags come on a pallet or with a mixed load; keep them dry and off the floor. Caterham 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.
  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
  • On busy streets in Caterham, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Plaster & Beads in Caterham: questions

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

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.

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.

Do you deliver plaster to trades and homeowners in Caterham?

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