Most stockholders will sell you a minimum length or size of sheet/plate.What are these places like for minimum orders? Just after a ballpark before I go embarrass myself at a trade counter.

They are the best supplier in these parts, as they operate a basic good price policy to cash/card customers. They only supply full lengths/sheets, and usually won't cut, but will happily lend a hacksaw if you don't have your own. They also deliver around the Lothian region for around £14, regardless of quantity, within 24 hours. You can order over the phone and pay by card.

They do bits and pieces. A bit overpriced, but good for DIY. They are a fab company with a wee shop at the front. Also sell basic consumables - grinding discs etc.
The other supplier in Edinburgh is ASD Anderson Brown. They have the biggest and widest range of stocks but if you are a low quantity user they really dip your pockets.
George Browns (Engineers) on the Shore, Leith, often sort me out with bits and pieces, and they cut too, but I know them personally. I am very wary of overusing their hospitality as they are a busy lot and steel supply isn't what they do, but they will certainly put stuff through the guillotine for you.
They also have a machine shop upstairs, one part of which specialises in engine boring/machining/rebuilds. You can just walk in. Its the only place I know that does that round here. Tom is the fella who runs that bit. Very friendly and knowledgable chap.
Ah, well, I dunno pal. It's sixteen years since I wrote that post and I've been living in New Zealand for eleven of those, so I doubt I'm right up there on the current Scottish Central Belt steel supply scenario, if ye ken whit ah mean?Nice

Just looked this place up and yes got stirling store. Looking through website they don't seem have anything below 1.6mm tho. Looking for stuff for car panel repairs. Will phone them thi just incase as be very handy for me.16 years later, brown and glegg have been bought by Alexander's who have a depot in bathgate and Stirling (I think). No depot on sighthill any more. Still the best in my opinion, great service and good price.

I'll only sell a full sheet of 2m x 1m, sorry. Keeps things simple. It'll be around £40/sheet plus postage.Cheers. You want gives we price including postage for say A4 pieces or what size is cheapest size to post.
