Delivery to Alfreton: what helps

Boards are heavy and fragile at the edges; they travel flat and are best stored flat and dry. Alfreton is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around DE55 are priced to the exact address.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• In summer Alfreton gets around 16h 57m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Plasterboard: choosing well

Tapered or square edge?

Tapered edge boards are for taping and jointing without a skim; square edge boards are normally skimmed.

Which thickness?

12.5 mm is the everyday choice for walls and ceilings on 400 or 600 mm centres; 9.5 mm suits ceilings at 400 mm centres. Fire and acoustic designs may call for 15 mm or two layers.

In England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.
