Why is Aluminium so expensive now I need some?!
Just been on Parker's website, and a sheet of 2mm 2.5 x 1.25m NS4 Ali to do the floor is £78 + VAT! Two 2.5m x 1.25m sheets of 1.2mm NS4 ali to do the rest of the panels is £95! That over £170 + vat just for the ali!
Anyone know somewhere cheaper in Kent / London? Cheers Adrian |

That price is about right for ally sheet. Unless you buy alot of it week in week out thats what you'll end up paying. I buy mild steel tube ERW and CDS at a reduced rate because I'm an account holder and the supplier gets a regular order from me. You need to find a friendly sheet shop that you can bung £20 to the 'buyer' to add your order to theirs

(£93 vs £51 both + VAT) And that size of 1.2mm 1050 is £53 vs £32. That's a mighty big difference. The prices from Aluminium warehouse are a lot more manageable. Near as damn it the same as what I paid Parkers in September
