How delivery works in Pitsea

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

• With roughly 7h 49m of daylight in Pitsea around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.

Things to check before you order

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.

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.

Your questions answered

What is thermal laminate board?

Plasterboard bonded to a layer of insulation, used to dry-line external walls and improve their insulation in one fixing.

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 I add other materials to my Pitsea 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 you deliver plasterboard to a site with restricted access in Pitsea?

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.
