Order plaster for delivery in Durham
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.
From DH1 to DH7, we price plaster delivered to Durham and confirm the drop point and date when you order.

How delivery works in Durham
Bags come on a pallet or with a mixed load; keep them dry and off the floor. Durham is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
- On busy streets in Durham, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
A quick quantity check
Skimming 15 m² of walls and ceilings at about 2 mm takes around 2 bags of 25 kg finishing plaster, plus angle beads for external corners. Coverage varies with the background, so allow a spare bag.
Before you order 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.
Plaster & Beads questions
Why does my plaster go off too quickly?
Old or damp plaster sets faster. Use bags within their date and store them dry.
Do you deliver plaster to Durham?
Yes. We deliver across Durham, including DH1, DH7. Durham is inside our standard mainland delivery area. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.
Can I add other materials to my Durham 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.
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.
