Yep, checked them out earlier, and there's one 5 miles from me! Will give them a call on Monday.

Cheers for all the responses, if I find it cheap, I'll let you all know!

Cheers

I last bought some alloy sheet on 21/09/09 From my local steel stockists

1.2mm half hard was £31.50 +vat & 2mm was £49.50 +vat
Full sheet size of 2500 X 1250

I thought it was quite expensive till I got some local quotes elsewhere, One quoted £96 + vat for the 2mm :eek:

Update
 
Just thought I'd let you all know, if you want some Ali sheet at the moment, Industrial Metal Services (IMS) in Essex were the cheapest by far.

Comparison:

For: 1 off 2mm 8 x 4 NS4
2 off 1.2mm 8 x 4 NS4

Parkers - £205 inc vat
SPA - £147 inc vat
Aalco - £151 inc vat

IMS - £110 inc vat!

These are all based on collection.

Hope this helps someone, IMS are nice guys to deal with, and if you need delivery it's £25 + vat

Cheers
