Trade Prices

Can anybody tell me what sort of trade discount tiling companies can get from tiling retailers especially the big national companies?

:) :) :)

Topps tiles give about 40% on adhesives, about 20% on tiles that are not in a sale or on offer.

Again, Tile Choice here in the midlands have the best glue and discount I have seen yet.

I am looking into bulk ordering, Admin, as I fully trust the Granfix stuff and I am fortunate enough to have somewhere to store it all.

Good news. Nice decision mate, just make sure ok store it above the temperature it says on the bags and things, and also make sure you don't sore them all for too long, rotate the gear.

Cheers, I will bear that in mind

used to bulk order but found you lose touch with retailers,nothing like sticking your head through the door everyday,they soon remember you when giving out cards!!!!

Good advice mate. Never really thought of that one!

To get this discount, do you need to open a 'trade' account with them, setting up as an independant what way do i go about gettin a discount off them.

Yes you do. Basically, what you need to do is take in 2 forms of ID that shows you are are tiler. Things like references or invoices do the trick. Plus an official form of ID like a DVR licence. Then your away
