Plaster & Beads delivery in Maidstone

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.

Trades and homeowners in Maidstone can order plaster for delivery by sending a list, a drawing or just the sizes of the job.

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.

Estimating your plaster

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.

Before your Maidstone delivery arrives

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

Common questions from Maidstone

Why does my plaster go off too quickly?

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

How soon can plaster be delivered in Maidstone?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

Do you deliver plaster to trades and homeowners in Maidstone?

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.
