Delivering plasterboard in Oxfordshire

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

  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
  • On busy streets in Oxfordshire, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Before you order 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 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.

Plasterboard questions

What plasterboard for a bathroom?

Moisture-resistant board for general bathroom walls and ceilings. In shower areas use a tile backer board designed for wet areas.
