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.

- Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
- Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
Plaster & Beads questions
How much plaster do I need to skim a wall?
A 25 kg bag of finishing plaster covers roughly 10 square metres at a 2 mm skim, but coverage varies with the background and thickness. Check the bag.
Why does my plaster go off too quickly?
Old or damp plaster sets faster. Use bags within their date and store them dry.

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.
