Things to check before you order

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.

Which flooring?

P5 chipboard flooring is the standard moisture-resistant floor deck. 18 mm is common at 400 mm joist centres and 22 mm at 600 mm centres, but follow the maker's span table.

Sizing your order

Decking 24 m² with 2440 × 1220 mm sheets takes 9 sheets including 10% for cutting. In P5 chipboard flooring (2400 × 600 mm) the same floor takes 19 boards.

Planning the drop in Consett

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

• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• With roughly 7h 12m of daylight in Consett around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

OSB, MDF & Chipboard questions

How soon can OSB, MDF and chipboard be delivered in Consett?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

Can I add other materials to my Consett delivery?

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

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.

What size are flooring boards?

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