How delivery works in Prestwich

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

• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• In summer Prestwich gets around 17h 03m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

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 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 Prestwich 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.

Do you deliver plasterboard to trades and homeowners in Prestwich?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

Can plasterboard be stored outside?

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