Before your Shirley delivery arrives

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

• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• In summer Shirley gets around 16h 49m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Getting the right plasterboard

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.

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.

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
