• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• With roughly 7h 38m of daylight in Norwich around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

Choosing plasterboard

Tapered or square edge?

Tapered edge boards are for taping and jointing without a skim; square edge boards are normally skimmed.

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 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.

How much will you need?

A new 2.4 m partition 2.7 m high, boarded on both sides, is 12.96 m² of board: 5 sheets of 2400 × 1200 mm with 10% for cutting, and about 175 drywall screws. Try the plasterboard calculator
