Before you order plasterboard

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.

Delivery to St Helens: what helps

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

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

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
