How delivery works in Grantham

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

• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

Plasterboard: choosing well

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.
