  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Questions about plywood delivery in Gillingham

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Gillingham?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

How soon can plywood be delivered in Gillingham?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

Is shuttering ply suitable for building?

It is made for concrete formwork, not for permanent structural decks. Use structural ply for roofs and floors.

What size is a sheet of plywood?

The standard sheet is 2440 × 1220 mm, also known as 8 × 4 feet.
