How delivery works in Darwen
Bags come on a pallet or with a mixed load; keep them dry and off the floor. Darwen is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
Getting the right plaster
Undercoat for the background
Hardwall suits high-suction backgrounds like brick and block; bonding suits low-suction backgrounds like concrete or painted surfaces.
Finish coat
Board finish is made for plasterboard; multi-finish suits most undercoats and board.
