Getting plasterboard onto your Cricklewood site

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

• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• On busy streets in Cricklewood, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
