Frankie Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I asked 2 Lerwick builders' merchants for quotations for Marley roof tiles and accessories for a garage roof. (DITT wasn't one of them). Quotation from local supplier number 1.......£1450 and no idea when it could be delivered. Quotation from local supplier number 2.......still waiting, and a shrug of the shoulders when I asked for a delivery time for the materials. The last time I asked them for a quote it took them 6 weeks to get back to me !! Quotation from Jewson, Aberdeen.......£850 and delivery in 4-5 working days. The quotation was faxed to me within hours of asking. Shetland Transport will deliver from Aberdeen for £180. They are based in the yard right next to Jewsons in Aberdeen. So if you are building a house just now it's worthwhile getting in touch with Jewsons in Aberdeen for materials supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 On major purchases I agree . It seems though that other people don't check the price of building materials from South. If they did, then the local suppliers would have to drop their prices or they wouldn't sell much, and they seem to be selling plenty just now.
