Plaster & Beads delivery in Stranraer

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 Stranraer, from a single pallet for a small job to full loads for bigger builds.

Choosing plaster

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.

Quantities: a worked example

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.

Common questions from Stranraer

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.

Do you sell render?

Yes, sand and cement render materials and bagged renders on request.

Can you deliver plaster to a site with restricted access in Stranraer?

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.

Do you deliver plaster to trades and homeowners in Stranraer?

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