Anyone else in the country suffering?
Round here, we have a massive tunnelling job for hs2 going on, they have the monopoly on all,cement , 20mm shingle and type one. So much so that the merchants have run out and dont know when supllied will holgate back up and running,
Concrete fence posts are also in short supply as they cannot manufacture.
Not good. Bloody hs2

It seems that unless you are buying industrial quantities, which means multiple pallets or tankers, the manufacturers are not interested in supplying. I know some contractors are switching to proprietary pre-mixed bedding and jointing products simply because they cannot get assured continuity of supply for key proejcts.
I was in a BM yard last week, first time in 18 months, and they had a crudely daubed cardboard sign on the gate limiting cement purchases to 5 bags per customer. You can't do much with just 5 bags of OPC!
