Wondered if any of you guys in the trade can help me find a suplier on line.
I live in the far north of Scotland and my local shop will "take it home" for £70.. Trouble is I need a fair bit (three bathrooms) and it's going to end up at hundreds of £'s at that price.
Many thanks

I don't think you will get it much cheaper online. it is a specialised product. We in the trade can obviously get discounts but when you order online the carriage can be quite expensive.

How many sets do you need?

Where about up north are you???

You could try CTD you can get trade discount and we can find out if they will deliver to you??

Hi marie, my nearest CTD is 94 miles away and this guy is probably about 150 miles north of me...........

There is one in Inverness. I am not sure where this person is based but having just looked in my phone book, I suspect that is the closest.

Nice to know though that you can send stuff to Jewsons!!

thanks for your replies.

We are a couple of miles south of John O' Groats. Pretty used to sending for stuff (i.e got three tons of black slate coming up from Gatwick !)
I need fastflex for 16 sq. mtrs and another (?) Bal product for 50 sq mtrs. of 600 x 300 wall tiles in bathrooms and showers. Plus enough grout to cover all 65 sq. mtrs.
thanks

Right bear with me on this
For 16 sq metres of fast fle you would need 4x bags of poweder and 4x bottles of liquid these will cost £54.01 not including VAT or any disvcount you may recieve with a trade card.

For the bathroom walls bal single part flex 9x bags costing 318.42 not including VAT and any discount with a trade card.

Grout for 65 square metres super flex 2x 10kg bags 40.16 not including VAT or any discount you may get with a trade card.

As the order is over £300 you would not be charged delivery.

thanks Marie.
Just to get it straight , that's 4 x £54.01 for the fastflex, £318.42 for the walls ann £40.16 for the grout. Totaling £574.62 plus VAT.
Trade card ? How do I get one? ( It's a new self build - I'm a joiner by trade)
thanks

It is not the easiest stuff to work with so you may be well to ask his advice about actually using it. You must work very clean and quickly as it goes off fast. You may need to mix in small batches. I hate the stuff myself!

ruther · 03-07-2008

what would you recomend in its place?
cheers
