Tile Batons

[nod]

I was just chatting to a friend who is a buyer for Build Base He was telling me that they have a good stock of Tile batons across there hundred and odd branches Whilst others have run out 

 

All there batons come from Latvia and have long standing agreements with three producers there 

He blamed the USA falling out with Canada 

and sourcing there timber from  Europe for the current problem 

 

Less optimistic news is that he also said nearly all the brick manufacturers have closed there order books for this year

I’ll probably render two thirds 

So not to much FB needed

I have been struggling for a number of supplies but, these are seemingly quite specific ones I.e mono ridge tiles. Insulation boards seem difficult to pin down in certain makes and thicknesses around my county. 

 

Replacement tiles have been very difficult to get hold of and reclaim was the best option.

 

I used a reasonably local timber yard for all timber and they had plenty but, they did say that OSB and battons will be increasing massively in price at their next restock.

 

I read a news article the other day that suggested HS2 was responsible for cement shortages - true?
