Screwfix price hikes

[emmavix]

Hi

I'm not a tradesman but hope someone in here can help. If anyone has a Screwfix trade account, I wonder if you could possibly check a price for me? I priced up a load of radiators for a renovation job we're doing at home & compared prices with the Screwfix trade catalogue. Back in March the prices (when I added VAT) were a few £ different (trade a few £ cheaper). The Screwfix retail prices have now increased by £10 - £15/radiator & I suspect this may be because of 'free' TRVs so I'm wondering if the trade prices may not include this offer & may be cheaper.

As an example, Screwfix code 58526 was £61.99 retail, £50.63 trade (ex VAT) but retail is now £75.99.

Any help greatly appreciated.

If you can do without the grille panels, check out Wickes. Free next day delivery if you spend over £50.

Thanks, though if I add in the grille & valves, the price is similar, a bit less admittedly!

Looking at all the different retailers mentioned on here for the example of a 500X1000 type 22 rad, it looks like £60ish for just the rad or just over £70ish with 'free' TRVs is the going price.

If they're all coming up the same, that's the going rate.
