How delivery works in Northampton

Sheets come in packs on the lorry bed, crane-lifted or hand-offloaded. Northampton 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 42m of daylight in Northampton around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
  • In summer Northampton gets around 16h 47m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Before you order OSB, MDF and chipboard

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.

A quick quantity check

Decking 8 m² with 2440 × 1220 mm sheets takes 3 sheets including 10% for cutting. In P5 chipboard flooring (2400 × 600 mm) the same floor takes 7 boards.
