Try Egger decors here (http://zoom.egger.com/uk-eng/zoom-dekore-

Thanks. That looks interesting. But perhaps I don't understand the
site, when I search for light grey Eurodekor MFC which I presume is
the stuff I'm after, the only size that comes up is 2800 x 2070.
Having to individually cut narrower widths and then apply edging from
sheets that size is going to make the job a lot more difficult.
Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place. I have asked them to advise a
local retailer, anyway.


The manufacturers just sell full sheets (that's a jumbo sheet,
standard for MFC, although they get bigger than that), or rather packs
of full sheets. Btw Egger (and most others) will send you samples to
check the colour if you call them.

You could find someone like this http://www.wrightscarpentry.com who
can cut and edgeband the sheets if that is what you are after. Not a
recommendation, as I've never used them and have no idea what they (or
their prices) are like.

Otherwise, if you don't have the tools, you'll need to find a timber
merchant with a cutting service who can order a sheet or two in and
cut it for you. They should be able to get hold of a roll of
edgebanding for you (or call someone like Ney), and contact adhesive
would probably do an OK job of sticking it. You'll need something to
trim it with (a sharp block plane and a scraper would do it).
