• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Before you order 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.

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.

Estimating your plasterboard
