Planning the drop in Bushey

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

• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• In summer Bushey gets around 16h 40m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.

Things to check before you order

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 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.

Ordering plasterboard for Bushey: FAQs

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Bushey?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

Can plasterboard be stored outside?

No. Keep boards flat, off the ground and dry, ideally inside the building.

What thickness plasterboard for walls?

12.5 mm is the standard choice for walls on studs at 400 or 600 mm centres.

Can I add other materials to my Bushey delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from plasterboard to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.
