There is a world-wide shortage of raw materials and our industry, along with all in the building trade, has been badly affected.  While our supply chain are doing all they can to  alleviate the problems, it is inevitable that delays will occur. We do our very best to be realistic about delivery periods but please be aware that we can only be sure once the materials are actually in our factory. To avoid disappointment we suggest that you place your order in plenty of time to allow for inevitable delays.  In this climate there is no longer a “just in time” option.
