Before your Felixstowe delivery arrives

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

  • If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
  • With roughly 7h 45m of daylight in Felixstowe around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
  • On busy streets in Felixstowe, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Before you order 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.
