Planning the drop in Thetford

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

  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around IP24 are priced to the exact address.
  • In summer Thetford gets around 16h 49m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Things to check before you order

Tapered or square edge?

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

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.
