Things to check before you order

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 4.8 m partition 2.7 m high, boarded on both sides, is 25.92 m² of board: 10 sheets of 2400 × 1200 mm with 10% for cutting, and about 350 drywall screws. Try the plasterboard calculator

Getting plasterboard onto your Oadby site

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

• With roughly 7h 38m of daylight in Oadby around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around LE2 are priced to the exact address.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Your questions answered

How many plasterboards do I need?

Divide the wall or ceiling area by 2.88 m² (one 2400 × 1200 sheet) and add about 10 percent for cutting. Our plasterboard calculator also gives the screws.

Can you deliver plasterboard to a site with restricted access in Oadby?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Oadby?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

Can plasterboard be stored outside?

No. Keep boards flat, off the ground and dry, ideally inside the building.
