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.

We are living in strange times and we are very grateful that the world has the expertise to produce a vaccine for the latest virus.  The world will adapt to the medical challenges we face in our daily lives.

It is very sad so many have lost their lives during these very testing times they will always live on in our memories and hearts.
