LA3222 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 For future members who may be looking to purchase Intello Pro Clima membrane, Tescon Vana airtight tape etc, cheapest place I managed to find is a company in Germany. A search for Latzel Dammstoffe should find them. My order was with me within a couple of days, very keen pricing when compared to UK companies. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I am pretty sure that is the same people I bought a load from who also sell on ebay which I found a convenient way to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony C Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) I also ordered pro clima Intello plus (VCL) and all the tapes from Germany, thinking it is better to have it before the Brexit. https://www.baunativ.de/product_info.php?products_id=66 Free delivery if you order more than 100 Euro.

LA3222 Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 I took the view that even if I cant get the VAT back it still worked out cheaper than buying in the UK?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasD Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 What are you finding now, post Brexit is the cheapest place to buy Tesco Vana tape from? I have spoken to the company in Germany mentioned above and they now require an order value of over 200 euro. The tape is 16euro a roll through. anybody fancy splitting a batch if I order some? I don’t need that much. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasD Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Just to let everybody know, I bought 13 rolls of Tescon Vana tape from Latzel Dammstoffe for about 16 Euro each. A few points worth knowing: - Post brexit your order value with them has to be over 200 Euro. (They are not registered in some way for the below £135 scheme where VAT isn’t refunded). - They refund you the German VAT less a few fees (approx 25 euro in my case). - You pay the UK VAT and UK Import Duty to the courier before the parcel is released for delivery. Even with the additional charges, it’s considerably cheaper than buying the tape in the UK. The above is probably obvious to most but it was the first time I’d bought anything of any value from the EU post Brexit so it might be useful to some. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marone Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Hi Thomas Thanks for the information, I was just looking at these guys today and wondering how the VAT & Duty would work. Could I ask a couple of questions? How did you order with them? Was it through ebay de, their website or did you contact them direct? Did you have to request the German VAT refund or did they automatically sort it? What was the Duty rate you had to pay? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have corresponded with Thomas on this and he said the following: He ordered through the DE site (the German version of the site as the English version did not work very well). They automatically refunded the German VAT once the consignment shipped (less a small arrangement fee). He then received a message from the courier to the UK VAT and duty. He said the duty on 13 rolls of Vana was about £10. He said it was still a lot cheaper than buying in UK. Hope that's helpful. And thanks to Thomas for sharing his experiences.

BenP Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I've recently placed an order for various breather membranes, Intello, tapes, gaskets etc. I estimated around £2.2-2.3k's worth if purchased over here. Once it's arrived and I've paid our VAT, duty etc I'll try and pull a breakdown together and see how it all compares. Delivery time etc. Ben 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenP Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Quick update: All four parcels dispatched. I've paid two import duties so far and they attempted delivery yesterday but we were out. Ordered on Monday! I've just had the other 2 import duty emails so should have delivery of everything mid next week. Really impressed so far. Latzel / Thomas has been incredibly quick with everything and DPD make it very easy to pay fees etc. Full breakdown of cost comparison to follow... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I tried this company, and although they are competitive in price, you need a VAT registration to order from them. Will try using my builder’s.

JFDIY Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Does anyone have an alternative sealant to the orcon F, which is amazingly good, but I can only buy at a kings ransom type price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperJohnG Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 @BenP did you manage to do a breakdown? also did most select the normal intello or the plus version. Only difference I think I can see I that the plus is reinforced? I assume if you are blowing in insulation? I have SIPS so guessing the standard stuff would be OK? @LA3222 what did you sure?

Not yet @SuperJohnG - the build has started now and I'm a little occupied. Have even started using the Vana tape - blimey it's sticky.! Anywho, roughly speaking I worked out to buy over here my order would have been around £2300 inc VAT from ecomerchant or similar. My total order cost from Germany was a sniff under £1600 all in. This was for 2x roof membranes, 2x wall membranes, 3x intello plus, various sizes pipe grommets and 30 rolls of Vana. I hope this helps! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperJohnG Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I'm just about to place and order with these guys, just wanted to check a few things. I assume most people use the 1.5m wide rolls? also which width tape did people get? (the pages don't actually seem to say the width of the tape on it either?!) is there anything else I should get while I am doing an order that I'll need but not thought about yet? orcon? (no brickwork just whether I would need to secure on ground floor to concrete slab with this). Its a SIPS kit. Plus did everyone just buy direct through shop or email them? thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA3222 Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) I used the Orcon at the join of frame to slab and in a few other random places too as its really good stuff. Do not underestimate just how much vana tape you will use. I ordered one box then had to order another so paid two lots of shipping and I still had to buy some more rolls from GBS - that was when brexit happened and they stopped shipping to the UK from Germany. My build is 280m2 and I used 50 rolls altogether! Edited November 12, 2021 by LA3222 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they sell in boxes cheaper? or just so happened your 20 rolls was a box? Don't think I can bring myself to buy 50 rolls in one go £800 in tape...?
