OSB, MDF & Chipboard delivered to Galashiels

OSB, MDF and chipboard are engineered wood panels: OSB (oriented strand board) for structural sheathing and decking, MDF for smooth joinery, and chipboard for floor decking and furniture.

We deliver OSB, MDF and chipboard to sites, driveways and yards across Galashiels, from a single pallet for a small job to full loads for bigger builds.

Picking the right product

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.

How much will you need?

Decking 15 m² with 2440 × 1220 mm sheets takes 6 sheets including 10% for cutting. In P5 chipboard flooring (2400 × 600 mm) the same floor takes 12 boards.

Delivery to Galashiels: what helps

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

  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
  • Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.

Your questions answered

Can OSB get wet?

OSB3 copes with humid conditions and short exposure during construction, but it should not be left in the rain for long or used where it stays wet.

What chipboard flooring should I use?

P5 moisture-resistant tongue-and-groove chipboard. 18 mm is common on joists at 400 mm centres and 22 mm at 600 mm centres.

Can I add other materials to my Galashiels 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.
