Just been on Parker's website, and a sheet of 2mm 2.5 x 1.25m NS4 Ali to do the floor is £78 + VAT! Two 2.5m x 1.25m sheets of 1.2mm NS4 ali to do the rest of the panels is £95! That over £170 + vat just for the ali!

Anyone know somewhere cheaper in Kent / London?

Cheers

It cant be that expensive, today I was in a shop that had the entire floor done in 8' x 4' sheets of ali checker plate, it might have been worth more than the stock on the shelves!

We buy lots of Ali and just been advised by our suppliers that its going up by over £220 per tonne thats a 10% increase

Spa Aluminum in Tunbridge wells should be cheaper than this, I think I paid £50 for an 8x4 sheet of 16swg.

If you talk to someone at parkers and moan you can always get the price down, at least 10% discount

about 2 months ago i got sheets of 8x4 1.2mm thick half hard, poly coated one side for 25 + vat a sheet (collected).

That was from the coventry stockholder - most other places where a lot more expensive, but they where getting it from this place so added their own mark up.

I got my aluminium from Aalco in Liverpool. 2000 x 1000 x 2mm in 5251 H22 was £30 collected.

NS4 is good for the floor use NS3 half hard 1.25mm for the rest ATB Trev.

You'd be surprised how expensive a shop floor can be. The tiles they have in supermarkets cost more than a hundred each.

Try and get some old Ali from a scrap yard.

I got mine from Aalco in Swanley.

They were very helpful on the phone and in person (I had mine collected by our driver)

Can not remember the price or size i got, but was very reasonable compaired to others.
