Hey

There is a CTD branch in Southampton which is about 30 miles from bournmouth, it depends how far you would like to travel.


We have reps that look after customers and they come out to sites to see you.

If this may help you out let me know and i can take your details and arrange this for you.

Weber is also part of saint gobain with CTD and many others we have contact details of two of their guys who i could contact and possible get out to see you.

Just let me know pm me i'm working till 5 and will try and stay on line.

60 mile round trip for a bucket of addy :lol:

I guess though from Topps none discounted prices you'd still save money

Try speaking with local independant tile shops. I get all my stuff from them (I have an account with CTD but it is not local to me) and I get good discounts, also slowly getting referrals too.

There is a Trade Depot in Poole. They sell Mapei gear and some is the cheapest prices i have ever seen.
