any plasterers /builders know anywhere in south wales I could get some or maybe some hidden in the back of your van i could lend
It's like gold dust at the moment. The builders yards are getting three pallets a week, it's gone within an hour or two.Limited to ten bags in selco and five bags at the smaller establishments. Nobody knows when it's coming in, neither do the builders merchants until the last minute. It's causing chaos as nobody can finish their projects.

B and Q have a range called 'Make Good' and travis Perkins have drafted in a load of Knauf plaster, absolutely robbing people for it, plenty down there. The only thing you can do is stake out the builders merchants or look at Wickes website, they will tell you availability in other branches, it could mean an early morning drive to gloucester or swindon. Alternatively, get your spread to use the stuff in B and Q, it works a bit differently and doesn't trowel up in the same way Multi does, there may be a bit of a compromise, although he (or she) is competent enough then they'll work it out for themselves by doing a test patch before they start.
