Hello,

I was looking around B&Q and found that ply wood is pretty expensive, just wondered which companies offer a competative price for ply wood ?

Most timber merchants will cut timber for you aswell guys!

For guys in east scotland, you could get your timber from walker woodstock at Gorgie (eDINBURGH) Road and also down at Iona street in LEITH (Edinburgh) they have a store in Glasgow too.

Most local timber merchant can cut wood for you too. Some places may charge similar to b&q untill they see you in a few times!

in addition,b and q will price match any price and apparrantly give an extra 10% discount if you can prove to them that you have bought it cheaper by means of a receipt...worth telling you about ,dont you agree?
