Website with steel prices ?

[Mikey D]

i seem to remember a few months back someone put up a link to a steel stockholders website that had prices ..
i done a search but cant find it now
could just do with a rough price of some 50x50 x4 box section and some 150 x10 flat

cheers mike

Your thinking of 'Parker steel' probably, you need to register to get prices there.
Or it might be 'Shop4Steel' You dont need to register there iirc.


50x50x4 box probably about £35 per length, 150x10 flat about £50

You can get Parker steel's prices without registering, just 'add to basket', 'update pricing' then 'just go to basket'.

Once again, Wozz corrects me

Hehe, not correcting Hitch, just adding info that might be useful to others .
I have found Parker's prices to be very similar to my usual stockholder's so I'ts ideal for me to check on there rather than ring up. A length of 60x60x6 angle is £24.25 from Parker and I just paid £24.85 so close enough for pricing up jobs. Shop4steel's price on the same angle is £26.25.

Oh..you want how much to make so and so... Yes, but do you know how much steel costs these days..... Is it much more than timber.....???
Sigh.

Up another £100/ton next month so i hear.

the scrap price has crept back the last few months or stayed the same, and so has the basic ore prices, I can only think the continuing price rise is direct on the energy cost, gas being the main one, I know the barrel price on oil hit another high this week......

I no longer price material into jobs, do a labour plus material price type quote, with a material price standing for a month only....Its frighting what it comes too now.

I paid a visit to Orem combined steel Mills, last month the second largest in North America, a fascinating tour.
