Getting plaster onto your Watford site

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

  • With roughly 7h 48m of daylight in Watford around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
  • Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.

Quantities: a worked example

Skimming 20 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.

Choosing plaster

Undercoat for the background

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

Fresh stock matters

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

Hardwall is the usual choice for high-suction backgrounds like brick and blockwork.

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

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.

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.
