Structural use

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

Delivering plywood in Sunderland

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

• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• In summer Sunderland gets around 17h 21m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

Do you deliver plywood to trades and homeowners in Sunderland?

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

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.
