Before your Argyll and Bute delivery arrives

Boards are heavy and fragile at the edges; they travel flat and are best stored flat and dry. Across most of Argyll and Bute, deliveries are quoted individually because of the distance and access.

• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• On busy streets in Argyll and Bute, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Choosing plasterboard

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 Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.
