How long have you used your supplier and what quantity do you buy as we pay much more for all the items listed. These are also the things we buy most

You beat me on ditra price is that for one roll or 3 ? I pay 216 for one roll at the moment I don't use Ardex so my adhesive prices beat yours chrome trim is less than half your price but not genesis, genesis towels are on special offer at CTD at the moment 2 for the price of 1

You must be ordering in bulk to get those prices....

on Average, i order approx. 3k - 5k a month of materials from this supplier, they are s.London based, and are very competitive as they want the business, pm me for the name, contact details, they do deliver outside of London, ps i don't work for them ! i just need to know that i am getting the right prices, unless someone can say otherwise..

Ok I'll start

ditra 30m roll £200.00 delivered incl.vat...similar to Gary for the ditra
Ardex x7 £12.00 incl.vat
x7RW £13.10 incl.vat
Mapei grout 5kg £6.92 incl.vat....most round my want about £14 5kg
Ardex 10kg FS grout £11.20 incl.vat
Genesis polished or brushed trim 2.4 10mm £5.80 incl.vat....not Genesis brushed £11
schluter E110 s.steel 10mm £11.40 incl.vat

No Ardex suppliers round this way as far as I know, doubt I'd be spending your kind of monies every month.

 

[m3fitter]

these costs are genuine, and are easily achievable if they want the business, shop around, i could go direct to these manufacturers and pass these costs onto you, even if you ordered 1 item, i am fully aware at the costs i am paying that there is still 25-30% mark up involved. shop around and state these costs.. the market has picked up, and its a buyers market again, if they want the business. hey rely on repeat business. ie: its what you know and you can't be bothered to go elsewhere

Ardex X7 @ CTD was £12+vat (buy 4 bags get one free). Special promo whilst the Ardex demo was on a couple of weeks ago. So I stocked up.

Genesis trim £5.34 from Trimtraders, but had to by 100 !!!

Hardibacker 6mm (1200x800) £8.76 delivered (got to buy over £240 to get free delivery) Insulation express

Weber 5k grout £8.25 plus vat CTD

Ditra or Durabase whatever is the cheapest from CTD.

Latex gloves (skytek) from ebay about £4 a box. Stocked up the other week, got about 20 boxes. You need to have an alert set up on Ebay if you want these prices.

Then there is ATS for all my drilling bits. No need to look elsewhere for comparisons.

Main thing is to look out for promotions and then stock up if you have the room. If you buy in bulk you only have one invoice to process. Gone are my days of popping out to Topps for a bag or two of something.
