Ongoing global and geopolitical pressures continue to impact the construction supply chain, driving cost increases and some challenges with product availability across the industry.

We know how important it is for you to get the right products, when you need them, and at a fair price. That’s why our teams are working closely with suppliers, manufacturers and hauliers every day to secure stock, manage availability and minimise disruption. We’re also planning ahead and sourcing alternatives. Our job is to help keep your work moving on site.

The main cost pressures we’re currently seeing come from:

» UK haulage and fuel increases
» International freight rates and surcharges
» Rising raw material and component costs
» Higher energy and gas costs in manufacturing
» Currency movements affecting imported products

As a result, availability on some product lines may be affected and prices may fluctuate over the coming weeks. We appreciate this can be especially challenging when working to fixed‑price contracts, tight margins or quoting new jobs.

We’ll keep you updated on anything that may affect your orders. And if you need to talk through options, alternatives or lead times, your local team is always here to help – just give us a shout.

Thanks for your continued support. We’re with you all the way and here to help you get the job done.
