copper pipes n bits

[stevander74]

Im planning on building an ag set up from plastic barrels and need to build sparge arm, grain strainer, hop strainer etc.
I checked B&Q for bits and the prices are restrictive. :x
Does anyone know where i might be able to get plumbing supplies cheaper? :pray:

I got quite a few bits from http://www.bes.co.uk/, but still got clobbered for B&Q prices for those 'need them now' bits.

I will also be needing to do this soon. I've heard tell that local plumbing shops MAY be cheaper.

I bought a lot of my bits from this lot

There's also screwfix as well.

Cheers guys :
2 good links there that are a lot cheaper than b&q, should save some pennies.

One thing to watch out for is becoming over critical of price of small bits like this. If I go to a retailer and they have what I want then I generally buy it even if it might be a bit cheaper elsewhere, simply because you can end up paying the difference in fuel money or postage by shopping around too zealously.

A little while ago I used to work at B&Q and I remember a guy travelling 40 miles to our store to save a fiver on a chop saw, his return journey would have cost him a tenner. . . . . Nuff said.

:rofl: Cheers for that Mashman :thumb: travel/delivery cost will be taken into account.
