Have you seen the Jewson prices lately?

[Paralytic]

For those planning on getting work done, and were holding on on the hope that things were going to get better soon.

Fencing up 51% And that's on top of already significant price increases this year.

How much to bleed radiators?

It is happening everywhere in the building trade. A developer friend (Medium scale) is working on budget increases of up to 40% for next year across all line items.

Yeh, couldn't get any cement for a little job a few weeks ago. Have to go back to dark ages and start making buildings with straw and cow poo again soon.

Opportunity for some filthy MF-style arbitrage there, assuming they have stuff in stock.

Yep - I've been doing a lot of work, building a wall and such and it's been an absolute nightmare. Cement, especially

[mattster]

Not just building materials, of course, it seems like just about everything from used cars (up 30% this year) to energy prices. Conveniently, there's a separate explanatory narrative for each (micro chips, Russia etc) but let's get real. Something's going on, isn't it? Glad I locked in my 5 year sub 1% fix just a couple of weeks ago and don't have any cash savings.
