Delivery to Staffordshire: what helps

Boards are heavy and fragile at the edges; they travel flat and are best stored flat and dry. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Staffordshire.

  • On busy streets in Staffordshire, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Choosing plasterboard

Tapered or square edge?

Tapered edge boards are for taping and jointing without a skim; square edge boards are normally skimmed.

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 thickness plasterboard for walls?

12.5 mm is the standard choice for walls on studs at 400 or 600 mm centres.

Can you deliver plasterboard to a site with restricted access in Staffordshire?

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.

Do you deliver plasterboard to trades and homeowners in Staffordshire?

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.
