When to order fencing materials this afternoon and got a shock, out of everything I wanted out of a list of 8 different products only had 2 in stock, and could not tell me when rest was coming in. And the price is changing every time stuff comes in. 

This is only the start of it and it's going to get worse. 

Anyone finding similar.

Demand is up with building in every sector Les, plus it dont help when the kiln that makes the cement goes pop! We had a major breakdown with our kiln the other week and we’ve run dry on production in every department, bags, bulk, ready mix etc. Back up and running now but be lucky if we’re caught up on the books before end of this year. Been a tough couple of weeks.

Yep, it's all sorts things. I looked at a van recently, t"was tidy apart from the airbag light being on, airbag ecu knackered. Dealer said he would sort it in the next day or two... until he found out there are none available due to Covid.

 

A mate of mine has got a small extension to build, can't get the bricks he needs. You got it, due to Covid.
