  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

Plaster & Beads: choosing well

Finish coat

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

Fresh stock matters

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