Expensive items

[nod]

On our last build the windows and external doors where the most expensive item

Just costing up the roof Excluding the workshop it’s going to cost 30k plus the vat No laboure in that other than a friend will give me a hand for a couple of days 

Slates have almost doubled due to transportation from Spain 

Timber is still quite high 

But seems to be falling in price 

Treated batons have dropped locally from a £1.05 m2 to around 75 p m2 

Still quite a bit more than five years ago

I got my natural Spanish slates from Jewson. the Mont Azul Lombeiro. they were around £1.25 a slate Nov 2021. a very good slate and our roofer was very impressed with them. even another BM rep came to site and saw them and said they were really good for that price and Jewson were on to a winner there!

 

might be worth checking them out. according to the owner of the Mont Azul brand they come from the same quarry as the Cupa slates.

 

some pictures in my blog post, it'd be interested to see what the current price is on them as could save you some money.
