Faintly related but we are currently having some work done to our bathroom at the moment and our plumber was telling us that parts and cement in the industry are currently in short supply as some of the 'ingredients' come from Europe and this has been slowed down due to the recent transition.
Not sure if anyone else has had this problem but thought it worth mentioning on here as work could be delayed etc.
Its only going to get a whole lot worse, as we diverge from the EU standards (later this year early next - I don't recall) stuff will need to be retested to meet the as yet new UK standards and there is just not the capacity in the UK to deal with it. Architects and HBF are already up in arms about it.
Any builders on here who do this work or any recommendations. I'm in Swindon. Single story extension going out max I can without planning permission. Need someone to give ideas as well as rough cost. My wife is keener than me. I need convincing.
Also anyone to avoid.
You can possibly go even further with neighbour notification but not PP.
