- Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around ML1 are priced to the exact address.
Choosing plasterboard
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.
Tapered or square edge?
Tapered edge boards are for taping and jointing without a skim; square edge boards are normally skimmed.
In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.
