Plywood is a sheet material made from thin layers of wood veneer glued with the grain at right angles, which makes it strong and stable; the standard sheet is 2440 × 1220 mm.

Whether it is a repair, an extension or a new build in Portsmouth, we can supply the plywood and deliver to site.

Delivery to Portsmouth: what helps

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

  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
  • On busy streets in Portsmouth, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Choosing plywood

Thickness for floors

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