Builders merchants are usually the best place for ply, but prices vary massively from one place to another so worth visiting a few for prices if you have some locally.

No problem. Off the top of my head your prob looking at around £15ish for a 8x4 ft sheet. Not all branches have a cutting service but if the one near you has then they should be able to cut it to what ever size you want.
