…..that won’t want £50+ for 7m of 50 x 50 x 3mm wall ERW mild steel box. Anyone got any recommendations for a source that’ll do a couple of lengths, preferably somewhere Macclesfield / Warrington / Widnes way?

Ta!

Hi Bob

I work in non ferous metals but do dabble from time to time in mild steel.I’ve just looked back on our system and we have had the size you’re after,if you had purchased from ourselves you would have been looking at around £35.00 for a 7.5mtr length + delivery so £50 delivered is about right.

Hope that helps. 🙂

Sods law, i’ve got 20 lengths on the shell but i’m 350 miles away.
Do Hall and Pickles deliver up there? i’ve always had very competative prices from them.

Das Fabrication – Stockport 0161 4761222
A J Heapy – Macclesfield 01625 619639

Used them all before now and for me at least Das was the cheapest

You could also try Mersey Metals.

Thanks All; Frank Hughes in Widnes came up trumps circa half the costs of the (very) local Kenyons. Just need to refurb the MIG and I’ll be good to go 8)
