Working out quantities for your Hythe job

Getting plywood onto your Hythe site

Sheets travel flat on the lorry bed and are hand-offloaded or crane-lifted in packs. Hythe 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.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
