Plywood delivery in Edinburgh

Plywood is a sheet material made from thin layers of wood veneer glued with the grain at right angles, which makes it strong and stable; the standard sheet is 2440 × 1220 mm.

We deliver plywood to sites, driveways and yards across Edinburgh, from a single pallet for a small job to full loads for bigger builds.

Before your Edinburgh delivery arrives

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

  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

18 mm or more is common for floors on joists at 400 mm centres; follow your design.

Common questions from Edinburgh

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

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.

Can I add other materials to my Edinburgh 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.

What thickness for a flat roof deck?

18 mm structural ply is common on joists at 400 mm centres; your design may specify more.

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.
