The reason im asking is i went to measure a job and it is 21.5m2 which would require 5 20kg bags im thinking of using BAL single part flex as it is a concrete floor in total with my 25% discount its gonna cost 111.63 inc vat just for adh' and the guy that has quoted before me has told that it will be £55 for adhesive and he has quoted for 39m2 do you think he has some left over or is he using somthing like wickes or b&q sh*t he has been tiling for years and i think i might lose the job because of this.

Any advice on cheaper places to buy from or just cheaper products (good ones) would be very helpful.
or am i best sticking (no pun intended) to Bal as it comes highley recomended.
Bal Single Part Flex IS good, I get it for about £20/bag in white. Granfix 1 part flex white is also very good and I can get that for much cheaper. You would need to set up an account with Granfix and spend a minimum of £200 before you get their good prices. That's a lot of gear to stock. What part of the country are you from, I stock quite a lot of Granfix and sell it far cheaper than Bal gear.
