How delivery works in Droitwich

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

  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

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 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.

How much will you need?
