Before your Chester delivery arrives

Sheets travel flat on the lorry bed and are hand-offloaded or crane-lifted in packs. Chester is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around CH1 are priced to the exact address.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

How much will you need?

Decking 30 m² with 2440 × 1220 mm sheets takes 12 sheets including 10% for cutting.

Common questions from Chester

What plywood should I use outside?

Use plywood with an exterior bond, class 3 under BS EN 636, or marine ply for very wet conditions.

Can I add other materials to my Chester delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from plywood to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

How many sheets of plywood do I need?

Divide the area by 2.98 m² (the area of an 8 × 4 sheet) and add about 10 percent for cutting.

Can you deliver plywood to a site with restricted access in Chester?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.
