Delivering plywood in Essex
Sheets travel flat on the lorry bed and are hand-offloaded or crane-lifted in packs. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Essex.
- Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
Plywood: choosing well
Interior or exterior?
BS EN 636 classes plywood as class 1 (dry), class 2 (humid) or class 3 (exterior). Use class 3 for anything exposed to the weather.
Structural use
Roof decks and floors need plywood marked for structural use. Check the thickness against the joist spacing.
