Steel price

[BobGreen]

Price of steel going up yet again. When you think it’s reached its peak off it rises again ! Have to hope when production finally matchs demand that prices get back to a reasonable level.

£70.00 a tonne increase

Scary stuff. I was just about to price up a couple of weekend projects but don't know whether to bother now. Don't think I could make the things at a price anyone would want to buy!

Unless they have an old version they can drag out of the nettles for one last season. I remember pricing 50x50x2.5 box at £15/length 8 years ago. Someone told me today it's nudging £50

100m box went up 17 quid alength in the last month

My thoughts are that it will continue to rise this year as mothballed and cooled plants are brought back into service, after which will take a year to return to 'normal' prices or pre pandemic as volumes produced increase. Infrastructure led recovery projects around the world will maintain demand going forward in near future.

Or an alternative version is the price we're currently paying here to stay and all this extra money printed through quantitive easing going to funnel back to consumers to balance the actual cost increase.

Roughly how much will a 90 x 40 x 15ft frame have gone up in the last couple of years?

 

[Sandy]

What’s box/flat bar £1250/t?

What’s box/flat bar £1250/t?

Seen some box coming in at £1800 and a lot of flats around £1400

 

[Bobthebuilder]

Got a piece of box last week, 6m x 150mm x 100mm x5mm £34 and a few pence, thought it would be more to be honest

 

[B R C]

That is extremely cheap must be old stock from some one? New would be North of £100 surely.
I think I need to shop around last week 100x50x3 7m £95 was just over £50 previously

Had a chat with a contractor today, £2350 per tonne for grade 355 hollow section today. Madness, he said todays price rises added £125,000 to the project cost

That can't be right, it would weigh 112 kilos?

 

[GrantMo]

That can't be right, it would weigh 112 kilos?

I’m guessing that’s the per meter rate, or at least it was when I bought that size a couple months ago

 

[Bobthebuilder]

That’s what was written on the bill
Old stock in local fabrication firm

British Steel closed it's order books a few weeks ago, sometimes it's not even a matter of price now

Things like galv sheet are also going up in to the stratosphere

Good time to be convincing people of the merits of plastic sheets
