do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
4 sheets of 5cm x 5cm mesh 2.5m x 2m cost me 140€ plus vat
what thickness wire ... CCMS or galv.? ...... always used to buy it by the 7ft wide roll x 120ft ...... but without a rolls to normalise it, it'd be a PITA to get flat again

but without a set of rolls to normalise it, it'd be a PITA to get flat again ordinarily :rolleyes:

Just average rusty 4mm mesh for project "site stak"
Already thinking about what colour it should be ... I have either kubota'ish orange or Jcb Yellow 🤔
Bit of fodder there for everybody 😉

Steel is the killer it not far off doubled in 2020, sod all you can do when SE specs a ringbeam…
Just been looking into Fibreglass rebar but can’t find an actual price on it only its benefits which makes me believe its more than steel…..

Does anyone have the polypipe 2022 price list? Last one I can find is sept 2021, i think my merchant is having my pants down.. so before I go dump 2ks worth of drainage back in their yard I just wanna double check..
I’m on -86% off on poly pipe at markovitz and just had to send some stuff back, £60 for 160mm triple socket T online price £24 for no Name make just dumped £2k on plastic express some might say its s**t quality but I can’t see much difference in the 160mm stuff. Saved me over £1800

Was on 78@Mkm and I haggled like mad for that, Jewsons just come at 82%, 86 is mega price!

ill never use plastics express again no matter how cheap they are!!, they ruined me on a ducting job, lied about the spec, which was rejected by SP energy, then had to buy gear again and redig/lay! They just import unbranded crap I’m afraid!

This is all 160mm stuff seems decent enough, ducting we had from markos at Sheffield their civils branch all Naylor stuff .

pkastic express do 160mm to 110mm T so you can tap into main run. They’re only £22 where as poly pipe it’s 160mm tee at £62 with discount then a reducer coupling at. £15 etc with 22 connections it’s a fair saving

That price I quoted was pre feb increase.
I’ve had real dramas over polypipe pricing, the merchants dont seem to put the list price in then add your discount, they have a random retail then add a funky discount onto it! Happens all the time, all depends who you speak to as to wether you get any discount at all ! 🤔

Drainage is a weird 1 isn't it? The ridiculous list prices then the huge discount

I don't know if it's the case for all but between some merchants and suppliers it's a weird setup. Pipe supplier sets your discount up with said merchant but merchant pays more for stock off them than what you pay for what you get. Merchant then claims back the difference at month end or quarterly. So when you go in and get your 80% discount the merchant might have paid 50% of list price for what you getting. Tax fiddle?

Well the lad in markovitz then hadnt taken the discount off, I was like are you sure it’s £64 with discount and he was like yeah but he is new young lad,

I’ll email branch manager and double check

One of the reasons I stopped using Markos, after using them for pretty much everything. Started having to go through every invoice to check they had the right prices. I pointed out errors when booking bits out and still got it wrong 😡
