Delivering plywood in Cowes

Sheets travel flat on the lorry bed and are hand-offloaded or crane-lifted in packs. Cowes needs a ferry crossing, so deliveries are quoted individually with the crossing included.

• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• On busy streets in Cowes, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
