Having difficulty sourcing furniture/architectural grade sheet materials (mainly ply but also looking for melamine-faced MDF) in Edinburgh.
I know big wholesale suppliers such as Latham's carry these materials but they don't sell to the public
Online retailers seem to all be based south of the border and delivery is either unrealistically expensive, or simply not available.
I've contacted local timber suppliers (only by email so far) to enquire if they would put in a special order for me but have had no positive responses.
Before I start the long slog of phoning around, does anyone know of a supplier in the area (or anywhere in the central belt) who carries sheet goods like this and who might be willing to sell and deliver quantities in the range of 15-20 sheets?
By "furniture/architectural grade" I mean stuff like Wisa/Riga birch ply, Garnica poplar ply, ash-faced ply, stuff like that.
The closest I found was a local builders yard selling no-name birch ply that, while better than the usual construction grade rubbish, was way overpriced for what it was and had clearly been sitting in a corner of their warehouse gathering dust for months if not years.
