How delivery works in Thurso

Sheets travel flat on the lorry bed and are hand-offloaded or crane-lifted in packs. Thurso is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around KW14 are priced to the exact address.
  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

Estimating your plywood

Decking 15 m² with 2440 × 1220 mm sheets takes 6 sheets including 10% for cutting.

Picking the right product

Structural use

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

Thickness for floors

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

Plywood in Thurso: questions

Can you deliver plywood to a site with restricted access in Thurso?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

Do you deliver plywood to trades and homeowners in Thurso?

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

How many sheets of plywood do I need?

Divide the area by 2.98 m² (the area of an 8 × 4 sheet) and add about 10 percent for cutting.

Is shuttering ply suitable for building?

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