Delivery to Chester-le-Street: what helps
Boards are heavy and fragile at the edges; they travel flat and are best stored flat and dry. Chester-le-Street is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around DH3 are priced to the exact address.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
- Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
Before you order plasterboard
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 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.
