Before you order plaster

Undercoat for the background

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

Finish coat

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

How much will you need?

Skimming 30 m² of walls and ceilings at about 2 mm takes around 3 bags of 25 kg finishing plaster, plus angle beads for external corners. Coverage varies with the background, so allow a spare bag.

Delivering plaster in Ystalyfera

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

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

Ordering plaster for Ystalyfera: FAQs

Why does my plaster go off too quickly?

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

Do you deliver plaster to trades and homeowners in Ystalyfera?

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.

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

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.
