I got the whole lot from ParkerSteel (Canterbury, Kent). Basically, I am busy at work and have an aversion to ringing round for quotes, then not getting calls back etc.

As I could order everything with Parkers online, and specify a delivery date (Friday, recovering from a wedding Thursday ) I did.

Delivery was £25, and that includes having all the sheets put onto a pallet.

The price for the sheet was 51.72 + VAT.

Parkers can be funny about you collecting stuff though, probably with good reason, but it does smack of being a bit 'nannyish'.

Hope that Helps

Yeah, I use Parkers aswell, just couldn't find the chequer plate! They are a pain with their collection, but now my brother in law has a transit, not such a problem!

Does it say on your delivery note at all the total weight of the order?

Thanks

Yeah, it was 0.21 tons (210kg) total.

The pallet was 40kg. It had;

2No. 2.5x1.25m 0.6mm aluminium sheet
1No. 2.5x1.25m 1.2mm aluminium sheet
1No. 2.5x1.25m 2mm 5 bar aluminium treadplate

The loose stuff was 170kg. I overordered on everything, as I have some other stuff to do with it, but it had;

2 lengths 40x40x5 Equal Angle
10 lengths 25x25x1.5 Sq. ERW
3 lengths 20x20x1.5 Sq. ERW
3 lengths 19x1.5 Round ERW
1 length 1" heavy gas pipe
3 lengths 25x3 flat

All lengths just over 6m

Hope that helps, and welcome to the forum

Thanks, it's nice to be here!

I need to figure out how much I can get on my roof bars. All the sheet stuff and the gas pipe can wait.

Now, they each have 75Kg max stamped on them so I just need to figure out if that's per roof bar or total.
