Steel Prices
Hiya all.
How much have you all been paying for your steel? (particularly anyone on the south coast)
I've just been quoted £18.20 + VAT for a 6.1 meter length of 25x25x16swg which seems amazing since last month it was less than half that.
The upshot being I'm looking for a new supplier. Any suggestions?
Who the f**K tightened this up!

I paid B&Q (needed it ASAP) nearly that much for 2m - so to me, that looks a very good price!

do we think this is a knock on effect of Corus closing?

The news section of ParkerSteel did warn of increases but I never seem to read such things until it's too late

get used to these prices, the more industry we shut down the more we are going to import, sadly we are becoming a country that has little or no
industry including the fast closing corus.

Closest metric I see on Parkersteel (only a quick look) is:
42.4 x 2.5mm (7.5 - 7.65 m) = £28.18+VAT
That's for Cold Formed Hollow Section, is that the same as CDS?

No, CDS is cold drawn seamless.
And I've got the same quote abouts, £58.80 for a 5.8m length of either 50x2mm or 45x2.5mm
Looks like I'd better do some saving, or are the prices likely to fall again?
If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.
