Getting plywood onto your Bristol site
Sheets travel flat on the lorry bed and are hand-offloaded or crane-lifted in packs. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Bristol.
- If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
- On busy streets in Bristol, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
