Plasterboard: choosing well

Tapered or square edge?

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

Which board type?

Use moisture-resistant board in wet rooms, fire board where a fire rating is required, and acoustic board for quieter rooms. Building regulations or your design set the requirement.

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 2.4 m high, boarded on both sides, is 23.04 m² of board: 9 sheets of 2400 × 1200 mm with 10% for cutting, and about 315 drywall screws. Try the plasterboard calculator

How delivery works in Peterborough

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

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

Ordering plasterboard for Peterborough: FAQs

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.

Can I add other materials to my Peterborough delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from plasterboard to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

Can plasterboard be stored outside?

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

How soon can plasterboard be delivered in Peterborough?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.
