Default Is this true, steel trebles in price in 6 mths?

Hi,

just updating a steel quote from Parker's steel:

In Sept they quoted £45.58 for:

36m 25 x 25 x 1.5 RHS ERW
12m 50 x 24 x 1.5 RHS ERW

(yes I know I forgot the 19 x 19! and have over spec'd the 50 x 25 but I have another small project to do)

I've just updated the quote today and it's £134.92

Also got a few other quotes for other suppliers any they are similar on a £/m basis.

What's happened? Anyone else noticed this or bought steel recently and can confirm this?

What about your prices' Saturn Andy have you seen a big cost increase?

If not I might be buying a flat pack from you!
