  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
  • If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

Things to check before you order

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.

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.

Questions about OSB, MDF and chipboard delivery in Hertfordshire

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

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

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.
