... Suppliers stock issues ...

[ShaunCorbs]

Anyone else noticing suppliers arnt keeping much stock eg everyday items like 11/4 elbows or general waste fittings

last week had to order standard copper fittings and some jg elbows

who do you use?
That’s why I like Screwfix, check and order before you travel.

TP manage our stores, and sometimes they run out of stuff like that, so I’m guessing, especially with Covid it’s normal?

I am noticing the same. Standard stuff not always available. I use Williams for 80% of my materials.

City’s and screwfix even screws were low stock on the elbows so maybe it’s manufacturers slowing down

Or struggling to fulfil orders, eg too much demand?

This got me thinking about prices comparing January to now

Starting to get issues getting hold of plastics. No overflow elbows in the whole of Williams apparently.

That'll be worth at least £150k then!?
