If prices keep rising, off cuts will be usedEvery trades person I speak to says exactly the same thing , the price rises just get passed on to the customer,
If they don't like the price don't have the work or pick cheaper materials in some cases
Although with cable you can't really 'pick' cheaper cable unless we start installing 1mm rings
Or cable stretching will become a thingIf prices keep rising, off cuts will be used
Some Euro countries like Holland have already hit 10% inflation and that is without the war spilling over yetInflation is spiralling out of control, one has to wonder where it will all end, perhaps we are heading for WW3 and a re-set of our values.
I am actually surprised by that, I usually find CEF the cheapest when it comes to T&E, and has been the case for a few years nowThere is a sparks who went round 7 or 8 wholesalers (including screwfix) and compared drums of cable prices.
No surprises , CEF was the dearest
Nice back handers in the way of consultancy fees and good jobs later etc .What I don't pretend to understand is why the Government has not told the energy companies they can't put their costs up that much? Anyone have logical explanation beside "its more complicated than that"?

You may be saying this in jest , but some wholesalers literally do charge silly money on screws and washers etc.Pointless shopping around for T&E as everybody sells it for within a few percent of each other - yet everyone does it! Wholesalers must be laughing as they charge £12 for a box of screws or an extra £4 on a bulkhead fitting - yet sparks is happy he has saved 75p on a drum of 2.5!!
Thanks for the heads-up , I will jump to my local Toolstation in Guildford and grab 2 rolls of 2.5Toolstation currently have an offer of £25 off if you spend £150, ends Sunday. I did consider buying a couple of rolls of 2.5 T&E with the offer, but haven't got round to it!
