Delivery to Northamptonshire: what helps

Boards are heavy and fragile at the edges; they travel flat and are best stored flat and dry. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Northamptonshire.

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

Picking the right product

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 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.
