Things to check before you order

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.

Working out quantities for your Ely job

Skimming 30 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.

Getting plaster onto your Ely site

Bags come on a pallet or with a mixed load; keep them dry and off the floor. Ely 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.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around CB7 are priced to the exact address.

Questions about plaster delivery in Ely

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.

Why does my plaster go off too quickly?

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

Can I add other materials to my Ely 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.

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

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.
