Is this the price per metre or what? I need 64 metres of the stuff, just comparing the mdf stuff to this. But the mdf comes in 4.4m lengths, this doesnt state a length. Thanks

It's per metre. My advice is go to a Travis and negotiate. You should get a better price than that.

What lengths do they deliver in? 4.8m i assume. I'm no good at negotiating, especially somehere I've never been before. As long as its cheaper than b&q I'm happy.

buy from wickes, champion or almost anyone other than travis perkins. they are not geared up for anyone other than trade and the trade that shop there are too stupid or don't care that the price is RRP + so that trade discount is pretty much the going price. you pay a premium for crappy service too..

wickes is part of the same group, but usually cheaper

Local timber merchant would probably be cheapest, wickes only keep short lengths of most timbers and are expensive.

Rubbish I've had a trade account at Travis for nearly 20 years, there's nowhere on the high street that I could get timber cheaper, nor anywhere that will usually price match even special offers. I would expect to pay about £1.25/m for that.
