I'm currently looking for a new supplier of natural stone, ceramic and porcelain, my usual supplier has recently liquidated. We don't carry stock just work from samples, our 2 shops are small independants based in Manchester and Cheshire, any help is appreciated otherwise we'll be just supplying labour which is a shame. Looking for 3 ranges of ceramic and porcelain (cheap, medium and good) and a few naturals to show in the shop, and a catalogue we can use to sell from aswell ordering samples for the ones the cutomer likes. Thanks Regards,

@tarkett85 Hello Richard, do you sell adhesive, grout etc? If so what brands do you stock?

tarkett85

we only supply and fit to avoid comebacks from customers not following british standards, but adhesives, grouts etc... generally only use Mapei as we do for everything. Did use BAL for a long time but the price crept up, we have used Ardex in the past but again become very expensive and both brands are similar quality to Mapei although Mapei's screeds are better than any on the market at the minute.

I think BAL have readjusted their prices of late. Mapei are good quality products and keenly priced no doubting that, but I think there a few levellers out there than can now rival the Mapei levellers.

not found one yet and tried FBall, Ardex, BAL, Mapei, Weber, Ultra Floor, Laybond, Bostik and Uzin recently and found Renovation Screed and Ultraplan to be the best.

That's really surprised me Richard, have you tried the new Bal levellers fibre base, thickbase etc? Weber Floor Flex and Tilemaster Levelflex?

Have you used BAL's new smoothing compounds? If not Gary's in your neck of the woods, I'm sure he can organise some samples for you to try out.
