Tbf Wickes have upped their game from what I remember. Limited stock on a lot of the things I use for my chancery, but cheaper than Selco on some of the basics and round the corner.

Travis Perkins group have now sold Wickes . they had been trying to lay it off for years.

Tbf Malc, I’ll be disappointed if that’s the case. My local Wickes has a TS inside where I buy a lot of bits and pieces, but the Wickes saves me a drive to Selco or similar to pick up boards, multi and cls etc.

Yeah, Selco sell that BondIt PVA. It's barely even half as concentrated as Evo-Stik Super Concentrate PVA, so seems like a false economy to me.

I would never use any pva for any over skim (evo is north £20 )the bond it is £8 (I use for sealing hack offs ..). (Add in screed mixes ) highly recommend & @bcprofiles ...

Wouldn't use Jewsons unless no stock I need quickly available elsewhere or no other merchants in the area, robbing bastards !

@Smudger1 what merchants/suppliers you got round Swansea?

@Smudger1 what merchants/suppliers you got round Swansea?

Most of the usual, selco, Travis, wickes, trade depot, Jewsons, LBS, and a few others. The best one a family run business exall&Jones just got bought out by Hewsgrey and turned it into a clone like the others which was a pity.

Wickes has always been pretty good for plaster... opens late and opens early and not far to drive....

I always liked wickes but my nearest one is 20 miles away.
Ridgeons or Travis is my go to.

 

[essexandy]

I don't think there's much to choose between any of the main merchants, it's all about turnover and having a relationship. If you're buying enough your prices will essentially be set by the manufacturer anyway.

 

[hstoke]

Aye. It’s all there.

I bet it’s more dearer than diesel

 

[FreeD]

Bulk is the way to go now I'm buying most things 50 plus at a time now...

I will say that Jewsons have kept me supplied with multi in the last 2 shortages.

A wise man said the same somewhere on here before

I don’t use jewsons but the customer will pay for the materials so it don’t matter.

Travis kept me in materials in both shortage’s ,so I’m grateful to them.!
