Delivery to Solihull: what helps

Sheets travel flat on the lorry bed and are hand-offloaded or crane-lifted in packs. Solihull 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.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Common questions from Solihull

What plywood should I use outside?

Use plywood with an exterior bond, class 3 under BS EN 636, or marine ply for very wet conditions.

Do you deliver plywood to trades and homeowners in Solihull?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

Is shuttering ply suitable for building?

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

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Solihull?

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.
