Getting plasterboard onto your Billingham site

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

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

Things to check before you order

Tapered or square edge?

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

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.

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.

How much will you need?

A new 4.2 m partition 2.7 m high, boarded on both sides, is 22.68 m² of board: 9 sheets of 2400 × 1200 mm with 10% for cutting, and about 315 drywall screws. Try the plasterboard calculator
