Picking the right product

Cutting MDF safely

MDF dust is fine; cut with extraction and wear suitable respiratory protection.

OSB or plywood?

OSB3 is usually cheaper and fine for most structural decking in humid conditions. Plywood is stiffer, takes fixings near edges better and performs better where it may get wet.

How much will you need?

Decking 30 m² with 2440 × 1220 mm sheets takes 12 sheets including 10% for cutting. In P5 chipboard flooring (2400 × 600 mm) the same floor takes 23 boards.

How delivery works in Chester

Sheets come in packs on the lorry bed, crane-lifted or hand-offloaded. Chester is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
  • With roughly 7h 31m of daylight in Chester around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

OSB, MDF & Chipboard in Chester: questions

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Chester?

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.

What size are flooring boards?

Chipboard flooring is commonly 2400 × 600 mm with tongue-and-groove on all four edges.

Is MDF waterproof?

No. Moisture-resistant MDF handles humid rooms better than standard MDF but must still be sealed and kept out of direct water.

Do you deliver OSB, MDF and chipboard to trades and homeowners in Chester?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
