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

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.
How delivery works in Hitchin
Sheets travel flat on the lorry bed and are hand-offloaded or crane-lifted in packs. Hitchin is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- 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.
- If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
Questions about plywood delivery in Hitchin
Is there a minimum order for delivery to Hitchin?
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.

18 mm structural ply is common on joists at 400 mm centres; your design may specify more.
Can you deliver plywood to a site with restricted access in Hitchin?
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.
