Having a mind blank at the moment so wondered if anyone had an idea where I could get:
Very long rubber straps, about 2 or 3 inches wide and 30+ft long (not particularly worried if its made up of 2 or 3 shorter lengths tied together),
they must be a little elastic and quite durable.
I've used my set for work for years and they're just about ready to die, unfortunatly I got them passed down from the guy whom I did my
apprenticeship with when he died a few years back.
I use them to hold large slabs of insulation or aluminium sheets to big chemical tanks so must have a bit of 'give' in them to slide things
under, then snap back and hold a bit of weight while I screw/rivet the ally in place.
Can't seem to find anything on t' web as yet..
Cheers!

These people have loads of stuff, should be able to sort you out.
Very friendly to deal with.

Try Seals + Direct
How about upholstery suppliers? They sell 2 inch wide strapping for seats.

couldn'y you us ratchet type straps instead ? as used by lorry drivers you can get them in different lengths and thickness.
Hmm, hadn't thought of upholstery suppliers, they sound lie the sort of people that may something good, cheers, I shall go look 
Ratchet straps won't really work as theres no stretch in them to allow more sheets/slabs to be slid under them, you'd have to let the
tension off completely and they'd all fall off 
Cheers all, some options that I hadn't though of there!

cut the strap and have some sort rubber sections sewn / bonded in in
bungy cord
