Plaster & Beads delivered to Christchurch

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 is a builders' merchant delivering plaster into Christchurch, priced to your postcode and confirmed in writing.

Choosing plaster

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 delivery works in Christchurch

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

  • If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
  • Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.

A quick quantity check

Skimming 25 m² of walls and ceilings at about 2 mm takes around 3 bags of 25 kg finishing plaster, plus angle beads for external corners. Coverage varies with the background, so allow a spare bag.

Your questions answered

Which undercoat for a brick wall?

Hardwall is the usual choice for high-suction backgrounds like brick and blockwork.

Do you deliver plaster to Christchurch?

Yes. We deliver across Christchurch, including BH23, BH6, BH7. Christchurch is inside our standard mainland delivery area. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.

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.

Can I add other materials to my Christchurch 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.
