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.

Quantities: a worked example

A new 4.8 m partition 2.4 m high, boarded on both sides, is 23.04 m² of board: 9 sheets of 2400 × 1200 mm with 10% for cutting, and about 315 drywall screws. Try the plasterboard calculator

Planning the drop in Hastings

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

• In summer Hastings gets around 16h 31m 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 TN34 are priced to the exact address.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

Plasterboard questions

Can I add other materials to my Hastings 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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Hastings?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

How many plasterboards do I need?

Divide the wall or ceiling area by 2.88 m² (one 2400 × 1200 sheet) and add about 10 percent for cutting. Our plasterboard calculator also gives the screws.

Can plasterboard be stored outside?

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