B&Q is expensive. How many are you looking for? If it's only one or two they are all going to be around the same price, so try Plumb Centre or City Plumbing. Just remember that the price of metals has gone up everywhere and this has a direct affect on plumbing materials, especially copper Personally, I wouldn't buy these on line.

Cheers, Nick

Screwfix is great for this kind of stuff if you have one locally.

Toolstation is cheaper than Screwfix but then so is the quality.
I bought some linear halogen floods off them and they were absolute crap. The metal was that thin that it had not filled the mould properly. The covers snapped when I opened them to put the lamps in.
Really cheap chinese crap!
Never had problems with Screwfix gear.

^^^I have. A lot of it is tat.

I like toolstation, some stuff gets rejected at the counter though. Besides it is 5 minutes from me, screwfix 1/2 hour.

I've found the quality of similar items to be the same from both stores, but have usually found toolstation cheaper.
But then almost everything is cheap chinese crap these days.
