Plaster & Beads delivered to Edinburgh

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 EH1 to EH3, we price plaster delivered to Edinburgh and confirm the drop point and date when you order.

Working out quantities for your Edinburgh job

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.

Before your Edinburgh delivery arrives

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

  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
  • With roughly 6h 57m of daylight in Edinburgh around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

Before you order plaster

Fresh stock matters

Old plaster sets fast and unevenly. Order it close to when you need it and keep bags dry.

Finish coat

Board finish is made for plasterboard; multi-finish suits most undercoats and board.
