Before your Bonnyrigg delivery arrives

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

• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Plasterboard: choosing well

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.

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.
