Plaster & Beads delivered to Kendal

Gypsum plasters are bagged powders mixed with water: undercoats such as bonding and hardwall build up the surface, and finish coats such as multi-finish and board finish give the smooth final skim.

For jobs in Kendal we quote plaster as a delivered price to your postcode, with the vehicle and offload method agreed up front.

Plaster & Beads: choosing well

Finish coat

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

Undercoat for the background

Hardwall suits high-suction backgrounds like brick and block; bonding suits low-suction backgrounds like concrete or painted surfaces.

Working out quantities for your Kendal job

Skimming 60 m² of walls and ceilings at about 2 mm takes around 6 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 Kendal

Do you deliver plaster to Kendal?

Yes. We deliver across Kendal, including LA9, LA8. Kendal is inside our standard mainland delivery area. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.

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.

Do you deliver plaster to trades and homeowners in Kendal?

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

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.
