Much is for a bag of skim with yous? we only work with carlite finish over here Northern Ireland and its £8 a bag now which is far to dear. thinking of looking in to buying a pallet and getting it shipped ove,r prob work out cheaper. :-\
 
£3.68 at the local plastering merchants whatever amount, can get em down a bit for a pallet though..
£4.67 at wickes under 5 bags, over 5 its £3.90 or so..
£150 quid saving on a pallet, wouldnt know the shipping costs though..
your looking at nearly a ton and a half..
you might find thats why your paying 8 quid a bag..
 
Must look into that one wizard, B+Q wer doing the carlite for £5.21 until the start of year they banged it up to over 7 then, prob up more since.
 
steve , b&q havent stocked carlite finish for about 8 months lad but they do stock thistle multi, thistle multi is what they are using on the mainland so why have it shipped over when b&q stocks it.
 
I dont know if plaster is manufactured in Ireland but if it aint transportation is the problem it is heavy to move so costs money to transport we have a simmilar prob with plaster board in Spain most is manufactured in France so other than Spanish merchants ripping us of the transportation is also costly, 18 months ago was paying 20€ a board now getting for 9.60€.
