Getting plasterboard onto your Glasgow site

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

  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

Things to check before you order

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

Ordering plasterboard for Glasgow: FAQs

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 plasterboard be stored outside?

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

How soon can plasterboard be delivered in Glasgow?

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.
