Planning the drop in Ilkeston

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

• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

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

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

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.

Why does my plaster go off too quickly?

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

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.

Can I add other materials to my Ilkeston 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.
