Sources for Supplies

[iggyuk]

Hi,
I am new to welding and metal forming. As a project doing up a car with my son. Everything to keep him away from PC and phone. In the proces we got to the point we have to do some patching on the car we are working on. I am wondering if you could suggest trustworthy (delivery, quality and prices) source of the metal sheets to be used.
I am located in Aylesbury bucks.
Thank you for your help upfront.

Fh brundle is where I get almost all my steel, they do thin sheet...beware prices are ex VAT but carriage is a flat 10 quid unless you spend over 100 quid then its free.

I buy a fair bit of box section, 10mm plate and 2mm sheet from them. Think they still sell zintec as well but beware of the galv coating before welding

Thank you very much I will check their offer for sure.

I think the threshold is now £150 for free carriage, I'm not sure if that's with our without vat

I made an order for £107 including vat a few weeks ago and got free delivery so not sure...

Just checked and appears to be £150 pre vat now...although ive never been bothered by 10 quid carriage when metals4u wanted nearly 3x as much for the same order when I looked

Our local Autojumble is a good source of consumables, some traders some people just clearing out

I keep quite a bit of box section in stock and also order regularly, if you need anything specific give me a shout based near Dunstable and also have plenty of scrap if you want to practise!

Wow, that would be super helpful. Thanks!

Brundles are easily the most expensive for the amounts I buy but for small amounts I guess they are quite good. They are a great company for everything else they sell!

Any steel stock holder but you have to buy decent amounts, I’m usually 1t +

For (relatively) small quantities ebay is the least hassle.

I've bought from both of these before:

Quiksteels

Speciality metals
