Plaster & Beads delivery in Dover

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 Dover can order plaster for delivery by sending a list, a drawing or just the sizes of the job.

Getting plaster onto your Dover site

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

  • In summer Dover gets around 16h 34m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

Estimating your plaster

Skimming 40 m² of walls and ceilings at about 2 mm takes around 4 bags of 25 kg finishing plaster, plus angle beads for external corners. Coverage varies with the background, so allow a spare bag.

Things to check before you order

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.

Ordering plaster for Dover: FAQs

Why does my plaster go off too quickly?

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

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

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.

How soon can plaster be delivered in Dover?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

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.
