Plywood delivered to Southampton

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.

SK Trade prices plywood delivered to Southampton and the rest of Hampshire, so the cost and the delivery date are agreed before anything is loaded.

Things to check before you order

Thickness for floors

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

Structural use

Roof decks and floors need plywood marked for structural use. Check the thickness against the joist spacing.

Before your Southampton delivery arrives

Sheets travel flat on the lorry bed and are hand-offloaded or crane-lifted in packs. Southampton 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.
  • In summer Southampton gets around 16h 32m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Common questions from Southampton

What size is a sheet of plywood?

The standard sheet is 2440 × 1220 mm, also known as 8 × 4 feet.

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 Southampton?

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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Southampton?

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.
