Getting plasterboard onto your Ryde site

Boards are heavy and fragile at the edges; they travel flat and are best stored flat and dry. Ryde needs a ferry crossing, so deliveries are quoted individually with the crossing included.

• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• In summer Ryde gets around 16h 30m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

Picking the right product

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.

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 4.2 m partition 2.4 m high, boarded on both sides, is 20.16 m² of board: 8 sheets of 2400 × 1200 mm with 10% for cutting, and about 280 drywall screws. Try the plasterboard calculator
