Getting plasterboard onto your Kirkintilloch site

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

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

Choosing plasterboard

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