No chance of getting it all during the pandemic, and after it all settled down, the prices were around 40% higher and still haven't dropped. I fully expect the war in the Middle East to jack the prices even higher.

I'm involved with a men's charity, wood prices have sky rocketed in recent times.


Luckily Travis Perkins give us discounts
