Plaster & Beads for Southampton, delivered to site

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.

We deliver plaster to sites, driveways and yards across Southampton, from a single pallet for a small job to full loads for bigger builds.

  • On busy streets in Southampton, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

Choosing plaster

Fresh stock matters

Old plaster sets fast and unevenly. Order it close to when you need it and keep bags dry.

Finish coat

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