Delivery to Gainsborough: what helps

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

  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

Before you order plasterboard

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.

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.

Quantities: a worked example

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
