Delivering plasterboard in Durham

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

• On busy streets in Durham, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

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.

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 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.

Plasterboard in Durham: questions

What plasterboard for a bathroom?

Moisture-resistant board for general bathroom walls and ceilings. In shower areas use a tile backer board designed for wet areas.

Can I add other materials to my Durham 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.

Can plasterboard be stored outside?

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

How soon can plasterboard be delivered in Durham?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.
