Topps Tiles

I see Topps Tiles suffered a 18% drop in sales over the christmas season, bet they are still bloody expensive for there materials...:yes:

I got a bag of Bal supercover from Topps and was charged £23, rang CTD as I wanted more for a job coming up, they were £5 a bag cheaper, 7 bags gave a saving of £35, 30 mile round trip = £5 in fuel, 40 mins time, gave me a saving of £30...

Mark my branch of ctd is £6 a bag more for a 20kg bag of rapidset flex,topps is £25 and i`ve tried to get a price match and under no circumstances will they match it let alone beat it.

I find that CTD will match topps prices.

I prefer dealing with CTD, as the staff are better informed about prices. When picking some adhesive up from Topps a few months ago, I was told that Green star was suitable for showers. Hmm.....

When I picked up the BAL grip he said "you don't really need that unless you're doing commercial jobs".

The local CTD manager told me that BAL were apparently doing GRIP just for topps and selling White Star to CTD etc. The rumour is that BAL were going to discontinue Grip and replace it with white star, but Topps wanted them to keep Grip. So Bal did a lower spec Grip for them and sold everyone else white star.

i have just rang topps tiles for a quote and asked them for the customers price and then my price to see the saving and for 14m2 of tiles, 33 border tiles and 9 lengths of chrome quad trim the customer would have saved just £30 out of a £500 job, how do they work there trade prices out? i think that i will look somewhere else?

CTD is cheaper for everything including BAL for me than my local topps, which is a shame because the topps is much to me than CTD but the cheaper prices make it work the milage. But everyone is going to be on different discount structures etc, so where is cheap for some isnt going to be cheap for others.
