Estimating your plywood

Decking 10 m² with 2440 × 1220 mm sheets takes 4 sheets including 10% for cutting.

Delivering plywood in Greater Manchester

Sheets travel flat on the lorry bed and are hand-offloaded or crane-lifted in packs. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Greater Manchester.

  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
  • Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

Before you order plywood

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.

Thickness for floors

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

Plywood questions

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Greater Manchester?

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.

Is shuttering ply suitable for building?

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

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

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.

What thickness for a flat roof deck?

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