Before your Harlow delivery arrives

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

• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• In summer Harlow gets around 16h 41m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around CM17 are priced to the exact address.

Things to check before you order

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.

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.

Estimating your plasterboard

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

Questions about plasterboard delivery in Harlow

Can I add other materials to my Harlow delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from plasterboard to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

Can you deliver plasterboard to a site with restricted access in Harlow?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

How many screws per board?

Around 30 to 40 drywall screws for a 2400 × 1200 board on a wall, with screws at about 300 mm centres.

Can plasterboard be stored outside?

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