P5 flooring

pruney

Hello
I'm having my bathroom redone in a month and my plumber has told me to get 4 sheets of P5 chipboard resin to replace the floorboards. He's doing pulling up the current floorboards and replacing with the P5 but I don't know where to buy it from. He said it should be approx £5 per sheet trade and I've found a couple of places online which supply for around that price but P&P is huge.
He also says it comes in sizes of about 1m x 2m but I can only find in sizes of 2.4m x 0.6m.
Does anyone know if it is ever called anything different or if anywhere sells it in the Leicestershire/Nottinghamshire area. I live near J23 of M1 and have a car so can collect it.
I'm going to ask him where I can get it from locally but thought I'd ask on here as well.
I've looked in B&Q and wickes online but they don't appear to stock it.
If anyone can help me I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks
Ayesha

p5 chipboard, is that not chipboard that is green in colour? (B&Q sell it) its got some chemicals to stop mold or moisture (hence the green colour)

Try Jewsons: there are branches in Leicester, Nottingham & Loughborough.
My local Jewsons sells a brand of "flooring grade chipboard" called Caberfloor, available in 2400x600mm T&G and thicknesses of 18mm or 22mm. I would choose 22mm unless it will cause a problem with levels at the door threshold. HTH

Thanks I'll check them out too. Relieved to know my plumber wasn't talking silly and it actually exists!
