Buying plumbing supplies

HI,

Wonder if anyone could point me to a site for buying copper and plastic piping and fitting (15mm and 22mm). I've found a few places, but all are still more expensive than B&Q. I would have expected to get it cheaper online!!


THanks in advance.

    Thanks people :)

    On a slightly different note, what about plasterboard sheets? Need about 10. Every site i come across only delivers in much larger quantities than that.

    I had trouble looking for an online supplier of plasterboards, so I would be interested if find anybody. B&Q do home delivery on plasterboards but this might not be the cheapest option.

    ScrewFix are cheap for plumbing supplies as are www.toolstation.co.uk (fittings only)

    Good evening: Lately, we have been buying our plasterboard at Wickes...but we have roof racks so can transport to our property (but only 4 at a time;) )

    On the plasterboard point,I've not found anywhere cheaper than b&q for the 8x4 sheets.Set up a trade account with them(at a warehouse) then anything bought to the value of £50 or over will be delivered free to your local area
