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.

Your questions answered

Do you sell render?

Yes, sand and cement render materials and bagged renders on request.

Do you deliver plaster to trades and homeowners in Darwen?

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

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Darwen?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

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.
