I need to put up wardrobes in 22 two bedroom units. I am
looking for cheap MDF boards or cheaper alternatives. Any ideas. Prices.

Those MDF boards are useless, just get block boards and fix good wardrobes ab initio.

I would vouch for blockboards any day. With MDF in rented units, you may have to do repairs every times you change tenants.
The laudable is more often than not rendered laughable by overclaim

While the customer is always right, I second the above. Blockboards have wood inside hence they are more durable, can stand water and more weight.
You can always fix bindings on the rough edges.

By the way I also sell wooden tongue & groove, archtraves, skirtings, picture rails, mouldings cornices and raw timber

Excuse my ignorance. My fundi told me so. Maybe he meant veneered blockboards. I am a layman in this field. Now youve mentioned chipboards. what should I go for chipboards or blockboards
