Plaster & Beads for sites in Scottish Borders
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.
SK Trade delivers plaster across Scottish Borders, including Hawick, Galashiels, Peebles and Kelso, priced to your postcode before you order.

Planning the drop in Scottish Borders
Bags come on a pallet or with a mixed load; keep them dry and off the floor. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Scottish Borders.
- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around TD are priced to the exact address.
- If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
Picking the right product
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.
Questions about plaster delivery in Scottish Borders
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.
Is there a minimum order for delivery to Scottish Borders?
There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.
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 you deliver plaster to a site with restricted access in Scottish Borders?
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.
