Before your Barrhead delivery arrives

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

  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
  • On busy streets in Barrhead, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Plasterboard: choosing well

Which board type?

Use moisture-resistant board in wet rooms, fire board where a fire rating is required, and acoustic board for quieter rooms. Building regulations or your design set the requirement.

Tapered or square edge?

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

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

How much will you need?

A new 3 m partition 2.4 m high, boarded on both sides, is 14.4 m² of board: 6 sheets of 2400 × 1200 mm with 10% for cutting, and about 210 drywall screws. Try the plasterboard calculator
