mild steel/aluminium suppliers in uk

[aytactParticipant @aytact]

Hi,

I want to buy mild steel and aluminium as rods and box sections as bulk order.

Which suppliers are you using? Currently I am using metals4u for small pieces. But for bulk orders they are getting a bit expensive.

Thank you so much

Does ‘bulk’ mean a ‘big’ courier order? or 6m lengths on a flatbed?

What region do you live in – obviously if you can collect an order it will save you carriage and handling..?

You might do well to look at the posting “Metal Stock” 9 posts down the page on this forum ??

If in the South East you might try Parker Steel for the steel rod. Quick look at 12mm 230M07 and they are about 20% the cost of M-Machine but that is for full 3m+ lengths.

However you do really need to order in “bulk” as their own transport cost on top will make that expensive if you only buy one or two lengths. You will also need to be able to get a big lorry to your property and be there to unload the bundle.
