I've just been quoted £33 + VAT per square metre for 2mm aluminium sheet. Is that expensive or the going rate these days?

bloody hell i just sold a 2.5m x 1.5m for £35

I should have asked for more!

i've just been to local metal supplier bought an 8' x4' sheet of 2mm for £40

thats more like the price i was expecting!!!!

I was in shock, i'm hoping to buy my ali in the summer and was starting to think about re mortgaging the house!

I checked the two suppliers near to me and paid £80 + Vat for 3m x 1.5m. They were both pretty much quoting the same price. That was for 1.2mm.

OMG I was hoping to have the chassis done pretty soon with the floor and side panels fitted but i wont be able to afford that at the moment

£1.35 per sq ft,times by 10.7 to get sq metre price

Seems they want to bend you over the counter and give you a stiff ---ing at thoses prices,there is a alu shortage on and all depends on which grade alu you buy ,but paid around 20.00 for a 4x8 sheet .
