Ainscough Metals

Just after a reference for this company as I'm going to pay a bit of money up to them in advance, anyone dealt with them?

Cheers

 

[Chuckie]

I've not dealt with them lately but you should be fine.

Good firm. Have always paid on collection. Low hundreds of pounds per transaction, not thousands( or tens of thousands)

Nothings certain, but theyve been around a long time and ive never heard anything dodgy about them

Pay part (over £100) by credit card.
Card company then can be liable if anything goes wrong.

Not for a business transaction I believe.

 

[jamj]

I was not aware of that.

I've had loads over the years off Sam,be prepared for rust.

 

[Highland Mule]

Quick look at the company accounts suggests that Sam is more solvent than any farmer I know.

Recommend using https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk in any case like this.

Depends what your buying,I'd never buy box section off them,steel plate is always good value and large painted girders.

Can you not buy from a stockholder near you for same money?

 

[Phil P]

Had suff off them in the past, stair case for in the workshop and bits and pieces etc.
Good company to deal with and I’ve never heard anyone say otherwise.

I've seen some of their stuff on eBay. Seriously good prices. Shame they are so far away and shipping for 6-12m lengths is so much money. Their steel plate appears cheap by comparison.

I've got some shed legs off them for half the money I can source them locally, there's a fair bit on the load including some roof sheets but they're delivering to Cornwall for £200, I guess some of the stuff on the load has made up their margin for the transport but everything I'm having off them is at least 20% cheaper than I can get down here

Is it fairly bad? I was thinking of buying some 20x20x2mm box to make lambing pens out of think it works out at 19p per ft

As a comparison the last lot of new 20 x 20 x 2.5 box I bought was, from memory, £7.91 for a 7.5m length.
