Planning the drop in Gwent

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

  • Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

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.

Wales has its own Approved Documents, including its own Part L for energy efficiency, and building control is handled by the local authority or a registered approver.
