Before your Helensburgh delivery arrives

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

  • If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
  • Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
  • With roughly 6h 57m of daylight in Helensburgh around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

Sizing your order

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

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.

Thickness for floors

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

Plywood questions

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.

Is shuttering ply suitable for building?

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

How soon can plywood be delivered in Helensburgh?

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.
