Getting plaster onto your Galashiels site

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

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• In summer Galashiels gets around 17h 31m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around TD1 are priced to the exact address.

Picking the right product

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.

Quantities: a worked example

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.

Common questions from Galashiels

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 Galashiels 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.

Do you deliver plaster to trades and homeowners in Galashiels?

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