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 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.

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

Delivering plasterboard in Johnstone

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

• On busy streets in Johnstone, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.

Do you deliver plasterboard to trades and homeowners in Johnstone?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

How many plasterboards do I need?

12.5 mm is the standard choice for walls on studs at 400 or 600 mm centres.

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.
