Things to check before you order

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.

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.

Before your Wakefield delivery arrives

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

• With roughly 7h 26m of daylight in Wakefield around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• On busy streets in Wakefield, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around WF1 are priced to the exact address.

Your questions answered

Can plasterboard be stored outside?

No. Keep boards flat, off the ground and dry, ideally inside the building.

Can I add other materials to my Wakefield delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from plasterboard to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

What plasterboard for a bathroom?

Moisture-resistant board for general bathroom walls and ceilings. In shower areas use a tile backer board designed for wet areas.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Wakefield?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.
