  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
  • In summer Llandrindod Wells gets around 16h 47m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

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.

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.
