Buying steel tube in London or online?

Hi

Anyone know where I can get around 220mm steel tube? Think the thickness is about 5mm. Local to London to keep delivery costs down would be ideal or online?

I'd be looking on large office building sites for a company installing a fire sprinkler system, that's about the size of some riser pipework, they often have off cuts/scrap pipe.

Any of your mates work on building sites?

I pop over to the metal supermarket on the Park Royal industrial estate, just off Hangar lane gyratory. They usually let you rummage around in their scrap bins too, if you ask nice.

Thanks for that - I wasn't aware of these guys. Is their pricing reasonable?

Sweet guys, I'll check the metal super market place out. when I checked online there was tube and pipe, which I'm not sure which would be better?

Yes they are pretty decent. I often pop in, buy some stuff and ask if I can nick some scrap for pin money.
