Getting plasterboard onto your Derbyshire site

Boards are heavy and fragile at the edges; they travel flat and are best stored flat and dry. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Derbyshire.

• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• 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.

Things to check before you order

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.
