How delivery works in Enfield

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

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• In summer Enfield gets around 16h 40m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

Getting the right plasterboard

Tapered or square edge?

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

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.

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.
