Getting the right OSB, MDF and chipboard

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

Before your Gainsborough delivery arrives

Sheets come in packs on the lorry bed, crane-lifted or hand-offloaded. Gainsborough 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.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
