Getting plasterboard onto your Dunoon site

Boards are heavy and fragile at the edges; they travel flat and are best stored flat and dry. Dunoon is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

Picking the right product

Tapered or square edge?

Tapered edge boards are for taping and jointing without a skim; square edge boards are normally skimmed.

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.

In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.

How much will you need?

A new 6 m partition 2.4 m high, boarded on both sides, is 28.8 m² of board: 11 sheets of 2400 × 1200 mm with 10% for cutting, and about 385 drywall screws. Try the plasterboard calculator

Questions about plasterboard delivery in Dunoon

Can plasterboard be stored outside?

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

Can I add other materials to my Dunoon 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.

What is thermal laminate board?

Plasterboard bonded to a layer of insulation, used to dry-line external walls and improve their insulation in one fixing.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Dunoon?

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.
