Aluminium sheets costs

Folks, How are the costs of aluminium sheets looking around the country?

Aluminium warehouse want £74+VAT for a 2500*1250*1.5 sheet!!

I'm in Oxfordshire, Does anyone know of a cheaper source around here? I'm after 4 sheets.

Regards Dan.





The less I worked, the more i liked it.

I tend to use either Blackburns or service metals

http://www.servicemetals.co.uk/

Dunno if either has a branch convenient for you though.

I paid £38 for a sheet last year from aalco in liverpool, try speaking to a local engineering firm who have accounts there and will pay a quarter of the front desk price. see what they'll do you for cash.
