Yup, perfect storm.This weekend will be the stress test IMHO, I reckon plenty out of fuel by Monday.
Prices? They still paying less than us! About 1.50gbp Afaik they can still get it? Not heard any screams from the in-laws yetYup, perfect storm.
Could be worse, believe it or not. We could be New Zealand.
They are already experiencing shortages. Government claims 17 days supply but those figures are already out of date from what I read- and you know the government won’t be honest. When they say ‘don’t panic’ etc, etc.Prices? They still paying less than us! About 1.50gbp Afaik they can still get it? Not heard any screams from the in-laws yet![]()
I'll ask em. He'll be ok I reckon as runs farming supplies setup.They are already experiencing shortages. Government claims 17 days supply but those figures are already out of date from what I read- and you know the government won’t be honest. When they say ‘don’t panic’ etc, etc.
They import all of their fuel already refined, majority from Korea. Those other SE Asian countries are running short on crude feedstocks, and export bans on crude and refined fuels are a near certainty in order to keep domestic supply.

I'd say virtually every supplier we deal with is upping their prices. A certain well know yellow coloured building product manufacturer has slapped a 4% surcharge in everything and a price increase on 1st May to be announced %. My rough estimate is everything is going up 4-5% this month. Some stuff is wild like oil based stuff 12% plus.Everyone talking about prices at the pumps, nobody's talking about the implications of the oil price on literally everything else. How are we all seeing this going forward with regards to trying to price work, potentially months ahead, in a market with huge volatility in prices. Day rate work isn't so bad, you can add a simple surcharge to that. I'm a bit lost with where to go with it all if I'm honest. I have some purchase orders for work in July and August with prices agreed and I'm thinking the extra fuel cost alone is going to erode the margin significantly. Let alone the material increases by then, especially in things like drainage.
Not a nice conversation to have with a customer but the sooner its done the better I think. Anyone else trying to think ahead and get on top of this before it royally screws us. (Medium term I really fear this will be the recession we've been owed since 2020)
extra-ordinary costs clause ... for material and fuel price rises due to world market's state of flux -Everyone talking about prices at the pumps, nobody's talking about the implications of the oil price on literally everything else.

Like convidextra-ordinary costs clause ... for material and fuel price rises due to world market's state of flux -
increases are relatively easily quantified, time wise, from date of quote to commencement of work
when it all went sideways back in the mid/late 2000s, my quotations were valid for one week .... steel price (and most other things too) was climbing massively from one week to the next.. stock holders wouldn't even hold their quoted prices for two days
